Love cannot be controlled or confined

Love is thinner than a piece of cheesecloth, transparent yet confusing to navigate. More conservative than a political debate More hearts are broken than mended . I am determined to search globally for an end to this love. We desire it fiercely and embrace our fate to heal humanity. Love may be a fleeting remedy, Yet we pursue it with fervent desire, Yearning to feel complete. How many times must love deceive us How many times must we yearn to feel complete? How many times will we be let down by this thing called love? He loves me, or he doesn’t. I love him, but he chooses to reject my advances. His heart clearly desires someone else. Love is a cross that many of us must bear. It can be a profound and challenging burden to carry. However, I feel empathy for its victims in relation to what we call love. Love cannot be controlled or confined

I agree with your title, Anne, true Love cannot be controlled or confined. All of the hurt and abuse comes from the words I love you that come from the mouths of liars. Many times, it is because as a whole, we are never taught what true love is. The illusion of love that is represented as sex is destructive. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on love through your poetry, my friend. Write On! Bill
