Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love

 

They say love is unconditional,

That true love can last forever,

But there is more than one kind of true love,

Which one are they referring to?

 

I stood there tonight,

Contemplating the thought, I could have,

Picking apart the love you chose to show me,

Showing me that my dreams are not that important,

 

The lights were my company,

Your love was not,

I was dismissed without a second thought,

And you went about your life as usual,

 

I wanted to show you a part of me,

But you had something else to do,

So I stand here tonight,

Contemplating the idea of love,

 

They say love is unconditional,

But I’m not sure that is quite right,

As what I just experienced,

Was the wrong time for love,

 

You are the idol in my life,

The mother in which I aim to not be,

You took one look at what I hold so close,

And found something better to do,

 

You once told me to be strong,

To not let others, get to me,

But how can this action be done,

When you are the one dismissing me so easily,

 

I know this is but my anxiety,

Putting these awful thoughts into action,

But the one sane thing you have shown me,

Is that love is anything but unconditional,

 

I chose the wrong year to show you me,

You chose to dismiss my work,

I chose to love you, to want to prove,

That I am more than just another person living with anxiety,

 

But here I stand tonight, tears in hand,

Watching you turn your back,

And realizing the choice you made,

With unblinking eye, and closed mind,

 

You set your love with condition,

You love when the time is right,

Not when I need it, or ask for it,

But when you are available to care,

 

Your love is conditional,

For when the time is right for you,

And so I stand here, alone again,

Hoping my daughter won’t have to feel this way,

 

I am beating this disease,

And deciding to rid my love of condition,

You are letting your disease rule,

And set the conditions to your love,

 

They say love is unconditional,

But they don’t know you,

For you set your love with condition,

And found something more important.

Very heartbreaking piece. All your writing is very deep and powerful i feel with such emotion. You write from your heart from deep in your heart i love that.
You are an extreamly talented writer, i love all the emotion in your writing its captivating.
This was such a meaningful write. If somone claims to love and care for you then they need to love and care and be there in good times and in bad, always.
In this poem that was not the case unfortunately.
Great write i loved it. Keep writing
