Of trivial pursuits like luuuuurve!

Its not love
Its convenience.
Its not love
Its a compromise.
Its not love
Its second best
OR perhaps second worst accordingly


Its not love
Its last resort.
Its not love
Its seeking approval through someone else's eyes.
Its not love
Its the afterthought of time invested over a single person.
Its not love
Its the acute fear of loneliness
Of dying an old maid
Especially when your friends are taken




Its not love
Its paranoia about the future
About someone standing by your cold, solitary, maggot-infested grave when you're long gone
Its not love
Its cold blooded companionship loud and clear.
Its not love
Its the promise of a glimmering, comfortable future, financially.
Its not love
Dont kid yourself
Its someone to look after you when you're old, crinkled, frail and unable to work your charm through your now fading looks.





Its not love
Its peer pressure
Its not love
Its flattering yourself that someone can stand by you for a decade and a half
Its not love
Its need.
Its dependence.
Its the willful loss of identity.
Its the gullible handing over your reins of freedom to someone else
possibly a stranger you only think you know.
Its not love
Its make believe.
Its not love
Its a cursory illusion.
Its not love
Its a life time acceptance of unrestricted bull shit.
Its not love
Its self doubt,
Its not love
Its unbridled lust.
That I can deal with.



Its not love
Its pretending to be charmed as you whisper sweet nothings into my ear
when I'm actually bored stiff
and have heard it a hundred times over
from different people.



Its not love
Its stupidity
Its not love
Its a means of escape.
Its not love
Its self deprivation and sacrifice.
Its not love
Its an egoistic conquest of that which cannot be tamed.
Its not love
Its friendship that you've now effectively screwed up
Its not love
Its another word for opportunism.
Its not love
Its the nerd's revenge
when he bags the hottest girl.





Its not love
It could be called stalking
Or possible necrophilia
Its not love
Its selective disclosure
Its partial amnesia
Its self denial when you know he's fucking someone else.
Its not love
C'mon you're smarter.
