Love Isn't Love Anymore
Promises are embraced
but vows forsaken,
Beauty is highly adored
but the heart mistaken.
When a problem does arise,
there is consolation
Followed by an unfair trade
for a lover's adoration.
Often there is competition
for the manly power.
Mine is mine and yours is yours,
hardly “us” and “ours”.
Flattery is showering
her with many flowers,
This kindly favor for the neighbor
when such love grows sour.
Then are shared the hurtful words,
distrustful criticism,
Sarcasm for the birds
and one-sided decisions.
When you claim to love someone,
these actions you envision?
There's no wonder after all
such love feels like a prison!
It is the love of this world,
which isn't love anymore.
