No truer words, Alexis. Short and powerful poem, dear friend. When it turns toxic, love has corrupted by our wrong deeds. Keep the wisdom and knowledge flowing. Love and peace always.

Toxic = dysfunction = someone gave love they didn't have to give or even understand. This is so true, so right-on - you nailed what most experience at one point or another, and not necessarily romantic love, can be friendship love or relative love - so many do not truly know what love is. All the best ... CayCay

The ego destroys love, the lack of comapssion and empathy lead to it.. Some just do not know how to love... Great one liner Alexis..
