it is love i want
so it is love i seek
a fruitless journey so it has seemed
for the love i seek is me
a love like no other
i have met my shadow deep
seen & accepted is she
of course no other love could compare
to the love i give me
many have tried to love me
but they failed miserably
for how could one love another
if they do not first love themselves freely?
they love themselves conditionally
so they loved me with conditions too
their love felt like a prison
i escaped
never let me return
my standard has only risen with every failure of a lover
& now i am unattainable
try if you dare
but beware the Goddess will probably turn you away
approach only with a worthy offering
& with a true heart
she may consider you
she may ponder on it
but there are no guarantees in this life
you will have to deny your pride & ego
are you truly ready for such a feat?
