Endless love

by Maria Novo

It’s wrong to want to possess

It’s unhealthy to depend on someone

It’s unrealistic to think it can last forever

and to expect that it will be stronger than life

Love is an illusion

Love doesn’t obey any laws

Love is overrated

Love is not given to everyone

as much as we long for it

there are times we hate it

Love is ageless

love is pure

and selfish

and giving and taking

Love hurts, sucks, kills

love destroys any will

to see things clearly

love is blind

Love is everything

turns people into nothing

consumes their souls to the bones

like a flesh eating bacteria, like fire,

love is a hungry vampire

It eats you from inside endlessly

until there’s nothing left

and then, full but unsatisfied,

it slowly

ends.
