Love is a disease
A disease without a cure
and everyone is infected
we are still looking for a healer
i dont think of love
it makes me sick
loving with all self
but in the end
you get to lose it all
it hurts
to love and not to be loved
when it gets to you
of the many people
who envy that position
you give to "your only one"
but they take it for granted
making you seem dumber
than anyone could ever be
but one thing
you can never share
your heart between two
just one alone
this myopic idea of love
has sentenced many to doom
because they can't help it
thinking of their loved ones
