A Discussion with Love (Originally posted June 18, 2007)

I'd like to meet LOVE, and have a face to face discussion. Tell him to stop wearing bright colors on Monday, and black on Wednesdays, the costume changes are confusing. Love is blinding to me...He needs to just sit down and stop bouncing around, making too many moves without me. Saying its to get my attention, and if I really want it, its in my grasp, I tell him he has too many friends. He needs to stop the association with Abuse and Neglect, cuz their not looking out for his best interests. Love says they met in grade school, and "them his boys," so he cant just turn away. Abuse was there when he couldn't speak his mind, and the people around wouldn't respect, but Neglect was the friend who helped him escape, instead of facing it, he'd help him run away. He blames it on the man, saying his purpose has been misunderstood, even feared. Tired of being the scapegoat, he says he hides himself to protect himself. I say its cuz he's not ready. Not fully understanding his own worth, yes he is hiding, but he's hiding behind his own lies, and not living to full potential, as a result, I settle, "hey a lil LOVE is better than no LOVE, right?" Naw, I won't buy it, I can't buy it, I'm too broke to pay the price.. I expect more out of him, cuz I know what he is, what he can do........
