Why accuse love

When you say “love” merely with your lips

I can see a lie told boldly with such an audacity

And yet you still play a pathetic role of a mediocre

Who is deceiving who? I bet you say the one being tossed aside

Thinking of how the world became so cruel over night

Making a shattered heart close up to love

As if it got involved in the very first place to begin with

Maybe trust was just assuming its role

And you were consumed, confused and captured

That you could not decipher the handwritings of the other

You fell for a sham; I bet love was absent

You got dumped; obviously love got on that trip to Dubai

No one cares, has been your daily lullaby

Sang almost all night since love instigated your pains, reasons for your nightmares and failures

“Some say we are in pain because we chose to trust love

But the real question is did you trust love or an imposter?

Have you ever known love so well that we still blame it for all the mishaps we see in our lives?

I bet you know no more of it or maybe we chose not to notice or recognize it

Love still sits around the table enjoying breakfast, dinner and lunch together and never feels lonely

And when you need that encouragement, love still sticks around and says you can do it

“ I trust you so much” and gives you a tight hug even if we fail so hard

When you feel stranded, love still open it’s doors and says “ Hello dear, you are welcome, make yourself comfortable in my abode”

It never deceived you for even just a moment and would still express itself with a kiss when you not even aware

Love still looks beyond all your imperfections and would never point a finger back at you and call you ugly

Why then accuse love and not believe that it never took sides with God know who to hurt you so badly

Or maybe its been a while since you had a chat with love over breakfast or you got so busy that you failed so badly to keep an appointment to catch up on old times

Or did you choose other companies other than love to keep you safe?

Love isn’t far away, and would love a chance to defend its name without stress

Its has so many things to whisper to you, so many feelings and memories to evoke

Love still wants you to have that smile as you sip your coffee over breakfast

Love still wants to be a shoulder that you can lean on and trust that you can still move on despite when the world shows all reasons not to

Love still waits behind the window, watching as the clock ticks expecting, earnestly waiting for an invitation

You can hear it knocking, its looking forward for your response
