Limerence

What's the verdict on its connotations versus reality?

Is limerence a dirty word?

I feel filthy when I think

about the way it can effect me.

So pure and light

like a joy from within

until you examine it

with microscopic precision

and realize that

limerence isn't love,

it's egotistical obsession.

Limerence says

nothing matters except

how it makes me feel.

Love asks

how does it make

the other person feel,

are we in this together?

Limerence doesn't give a fuck,

it says this is what I want

everything else be damned.

How can a state of being

feel so wholesome and innocent

until you become aware of it

and discover the true dirtiness

of limerence?
