Your love is an Illusion

The title describes it all

You think you love,

And maybe you do.

But it's not me,

You don't love me.

 

You love an idea.

You love what I've shown you.

You love all those things,

But you don't love me.

 

You love the mistake,

That you are making.

You love that I warn you,

But you don't love me.

 

You try to replace,

What may have existed.

You love the challange,

of chasing me.

 

You can't understand

Its a fight not worth winning.

I'll only hurt you

Like I hurt me.

 

You're love's an illusion

And I can't help.

Cause not even I...

 

 

Can love myself.

Well written. It's really sad however, and full of pain.
Thank you for sharing something so personal with us.
I felt it, just as you felt this.

It seems like you think you can't be loved unless you love yourself, that is not true. Anyone can love someone for who they see that person to be. Knowing they have a great heart and sweet tortured soul. But knowing love and being in love are two different things completely. You can love someone, but not be IN-love with them. So maybe there is no illusion, amazing poem.

I imagine this is how love is for many people. They are so in love with being in love that it doesnt matter who it is, and they cant see the real person. And our own struggles prevent us from loving back. So we have those who love everyone, and those who cant love anyone.

Such a sad piece, I expect many love the idea of someone but don't actually see the real person,
but the last line was very sad.
