belle du jour

What does it mean to love someone? Is love an expectation? Is love an experience? Is love but an enchanting tale? A claim to love encompasses almost everything and a demand for respect in return. A claim to love involves looks of heartache and reason to blame. A claim to love is something that fleets past me. One may think one knows another but it will never be. Perhaps it could never be.

People around with patience more than the one with a claim to love. Is love selfish? Is love about compelling another to fold one's preferences? Is love really what one claims it to be?

Is this really what "all-giving" love reflects for the future? It's amazing how a father can say, "this is about her. think about what she wants and if this may be comfortable to those around her."

Truly, why should one bother to care when it doesn't even seem remotely close to what should be right?

God I pray give strength.

I can't look the other way. I can't walk towards the light. I'm gone.
