A Beautiful Hypocrisy

Love is twofaced.

It is both euphoria & agony.
It is wonderfully simple.
Yet unreservedly complex.

It can be innocent & unadulterated.
Bursting at the seams.
Teeming with a delicate desire.

It can be tainted & corrupt.
Rotten to the very core,
A mechanism of deception.

Love is unkind.

It is merciless & inconsiderate.
It exploits the young & weak.
But revives the miserable.
Love is an irreplaceable, conceited, ecstasy.

& Love is all that I live for.
