half

love
seems unnecessary
love for the people who aren’t related to you,
that is

i understand love family-wise
but love for animals and other peers?
no,
i apologize, i don’t get it

it just seems like a heart-crushing emotion
that will always leave you in pain
maybe i am stupid to say that
maybe i am smart

i don’t understand why women
would be so lovestruck with men
to actually want to bear their child
if you have that child

there’s no going back
all you’ll do is eventually divorce
and hurt the people around you
so there’s no point anyway

small crushes seem unnecessary too
it’s just this little thing
you have it for a bit
then it’ll fly away, like it wasn’t there in the first place

perhaps i’m too young to understand
or i’ll have this view for all eternity
i don’t know
i just don’t know

The way you weave the words so naturally is just impressive!

An interesting take on love here. Perhaps finding out there are different types of love is one of the main purposes of this life.
