Love
In desperation they claw
too impatient to wait for one above all others
Recklessly tearing apart a whole for crumbs
Tasting aimlessly at any other
Thoughtless for the one
before their own
salvaging leftovers post tug of war
only taking while staking a claim for
self not the other
Minds eye will always wander
Unhappy while happy just like
every other
Luck will let loose those untrue
Until that day comes left
stuck in the mud they are
but like others
Take care and thought
for the one that trumps all
Or choose mediocre and
end up failing and flailing
floundering love not love
faking it like all the others
