no love like mine

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?
