Friendship and Love - Is it a Selfish Illusion

I am just a simple guy, who loves to love the world unconditionally. But is the word Love becoming an illusion, which I dream of everyday.

Friends and love, both illusions

Blinded by everyone's simple dillusions

The three magical words, easy to say

But can everyone stick to what they say

Friendship, just like love, is a flimzy term

It doesn't mean anything to many

These days its just like a wrong turn

And then that makes my heart burn

A broken heart comes so easy

With love being so flimsy

Even though I love the world

They don't listen to my single word

Its just so simple to say I LOVE YOU

I understand the meaning, but do you

I love everyone

But do I get the same love

I couldn't think of a good title, so if you can, please do so.

Your ponderings reach deeply into us all.. love and friendship.. relationships.. the value and strength... and more. Powerful expressions about what life is all about in the end.

Awesome write i must say here please keep it up. I agree that nowadays people do not care about ones friendship and love but as all the fingers of ones hand are of not the same size same way everyone in this world is not heartless and stone hearted.

interesting.... i love it when people just pour out their thoughts, it always turns out beautiful just as this has. :)
perhaps a good title for this would be something along the lines of "Illusion of Love''. either way, the poem is great!

oo I liked this one a lot!! you are listening to what we said and definitely running with it this was great! you poise very relevant questions!! only thing to say is be consistent with the rhyme scheme!! you go from a strong AABB and then start to disperse but without an alternative - so either ditch the rhymes and go for free verse or change a few of the end words and perfect!! really great poem here!!!
