"It's not that
you believe people are lying when they tell you that they love you, or when
they say that you have value. You just think they're mistaken. 'I love you.' 'I
know you do. I know you think you do.’ It’s all in the thought" (Agides,
2015)
Maybe
you’re in mad
Belief in mental illness is
the same
as she convinced by what she
thinks is real.
In search of feeling... fearful of the name
its promise without trust; has no appeal.
Shaping shared translations
each will steal
closer to the truth than
many others.
Compassion their combined
Achilles heel
agápe flowed, from
blind-hearted mothers.
When lovers say they love
you; have they lied?
When loves announce they
lied; is that your truth?
Affection seems like
bullshit we denied
or failed to learn as
signals in our youth.
All should just believe that
love is giving
Live to love: a life that is
worth living
