This Is No Love

Why do you wish to isolate the one you love from their own and say you love them...
Why do you feel you are better than the loved one and making them a favour by your concern....
Why do you feel you are unique in their world...
Why do you feel you have to uproot them to offer a better life...
Why do you feel by invading their life you rendered some service..
Why do you not think they existed before you came in...
Why do feel you can be every other relation in their life...
Why do you not think their family, broken or perfect; rich or poor would ever be their root no matter what you do....
How did you think that money or power may prove your love...
All you ever wanted is to own the one you love!

How do you happen to fall in this illusion that ...this is LOVE!!!

very good questions for someone who feels like a grand narcissist to me. Well done.
