In love's enchanting grip, we often sway,
A force that guides us, makes us go astray.
It leads us down paths we never thought we'd tread,
Outside our character, where heart and reason are misread.

But heed this truth, my dear, with utmost care,
Enduring pain and toxicity won't take you there.
For love's not a bargain, a transaction or trade,
It's a bond built on trust, where truest affections are laid.

Believe me, pouring love, loyalty on repeat,
Won't guarantee the rewards you yearn...
