Incapable of Love


Love, one thing that we all experience as human beings,
While some people have the opposite of love, hate,
Others in their quest to give or receive love have been hurt,
Like wounded soldiers but even after many years are still not veterans of love.

So what is love? And who even gets to give an accurate definition?
For me, I don’t know,
I am incapable of love,
I am selfish, selective with what I sacrifice,
And resentful when I feel like.

Don’t get me wrong, I have tasted and seen what you call love,
And it has tasted like different things,
Sweet and sour, chilling and spicy, nice and crazy,
Maybe it was the genre that I was served.

But I know it never lasts,
Especially when you are young and ‘naïve’,
You’re beautiful but not yet wise,
Aware of your feelings but not fully of its consequences,
Driven by your biology but unsure of the destination.

Let love lead they say,
Let’s also be sure we’re capable of following,
Mehn, this love thing is not for all of us.
