You asked me about love
my first reply
it hurts
but I was lying
love is beautiful
warm, all encompassing
love is the epitome of what we can be
it is strength and endurance
compromise and compassion
it is a battle
a war to be the best you can be
to help others do the same
to care deeply
in the face of anything
not for recognition
or return
but for peace of mind
feeding of spirit and soul
love is not hurt
expectation is hurt
life is suffering
love is release
we are hurt
we are hate and fear
sellers of perfection
eaters of envy
love is the death of this
