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.
