Is Love Evil?

If our love is a vehicle you would be the driver and I would sit hopelessly in the passenger seat.

I trusted you to steer my emotions and guide me to happiness, but you steered of track and plummeted me into darkness. Did you lose the directions along the way or was this your plan all along?

Even after all of the pain you have inflicted, If we crashed I would crawl to your side and spend my last beating heart on your presence.

I am not you but I am us, I am not a reflection of your insecurities that you try to reflect onto me in order to deflect them from yourself. The hand that you needed was always present to hold and it would of been easy to see if you was looking at me instead of looking elsewhere. Constantly leading me on just to let me go whenever it pleased you.

I thought your purpose was to show me love but I guess you showed me what love is not and although I question whether love is evil? I already know the answer is no. You made me lose myself and the trust for others without any care in the world you did not show me that love was evil but you did show me that you was.

If you like what you have read and want to support my work You can always buy me a coffee by clicking the words in bold. As I am addicted to caffeine it helps me with concentration and productivity have a wonderful day and always believe in yourself.

Perhaps it’s my fault, not time or you.

When I slowly show my love to you, you slowly change, as if you forgot everything you had said before
