Battle of Love
You thought
you were in love.
But you forgot—
love
is a battlefield.
And control
is its silent weapon.
If control is lost,
everything
falls apart.
A woman with status
may look down
on a man without it.
Yet a man with power
can uplift.
So what then
is love?
You were told
it is pure.
But to some,
a relationship
is a courtroom—
where judgment is passed
without appeal.
We are human.
We are opportunistic.
And in love,
this truth
reveals itself.
Deception
is not taught.
It is mastered.
Masks are worn.
Perception
is shaped.
Beauty becomes strategy.
Softness
becomes leverage.
Desire—
your desire—
becomes your blindness.
You call love
wicked.
But ask yourself—
where does
that wickedness
begin?
In the battlefield of love,
the true strategists
move in silence.
They wait.
Like a cobra—
patient,
precise,
certain.
And when the moment comes,
they strike.
Only the steadfast
survive.
They say
awareness is power.
And now,
awareness grows.
Truth rises slowly.
Like night
giving way
to day.
And in that light,
the illusions fade.
