Thus, is love lost

In affection, we focus on our beauty

In rejection, we focus on our deficiencies

Perhaps that’s why the world is so harsh

Too many are waiting for their deficiencies to be accepted before they share their beauty

Or need their grievances with one to be compensated before they accept the beauty of another.

Each time we wait for the past to be redressed before

we invest in the future

We are discarding the future in favour of the very past we wish we could leave behind

Thus is the gift of love discarded

And bitterness courted.
