The Treason of Love

It's not Love

Love is pure

Love is clear

Love is kind

No!

Love is sneaky

Love is talking behind your back

Love is plotting for your demise

It makes you fall for the wrong people

It makes you feel pain you never felt

It makes you become someone you didn't want to be.

Is it really love?

Or is it the blind trust in a feeling you don't really know?

It says it knows you, but changes who you are.

You're in pain

You're in love

Your love is killing you

Or it's killing the ones you love

It's not love

It's obsession

It's addiction

It kills you

And the ones you love.
