The Thought of Love

The idea of love

is never pleasing.

You continue to exist,

try and work harder to please,

but in the end

the harder you work

the farther away you become.

You're trapped in this black hole.

People say

You can never love enough.

You can never love someone enough.

You can never please the one you love,

even though you try.

The sad thing is

this is true.

However, what they don't tell you

is that the one you are really trying to please

is yourself.

They never tell you that you are the one not loved.

Everyone tries, but never succeeds because it's a never ending array

of disappointment, confusion, doubt, anxiety, depression,

and simply never understanding why.
