Ego of the heart!

Love seems to be a lonely word
In this densely populated place,
Love seems like a dried-up riverbed
That’s seen better seasons,
Love seems to be an over rated word
Is what wisdom pontificates?
Coz Love seems to have been taken over by the ego of the heart!

I have been wronged, ignored & left behind
Is the mantra that we chant,
So used to complaining & releasing pent-up hurt,
But have we ever stopped & wondered…. why me all alone?
Coz Love seems to have been taken over by the ego of the heart!

The teasing & relenting
The hunger to give more
The thought of living for the beloved
Just isn’t anymore.
I gather all the riches & goodness from far & wide,
I think I’m the epitome of love personified,
But when the time to deliver comes knocking at my door,
I feel vulnerable & scared of what’s in store,
I just can’t do this…I have a reputation to defend
Coz Love seems to have been taken over by the ego of the heart!

What use is this ego…that can’t bring me joy
of owning & belonging.
What use is this ego that’s killed the chances
of any affectionate germination?
I rather do away with thy and come off clean
In order to spring new leaves of predilection
I shall have to shed your company.
