If your

I LOVE YOU

                                     is not for everybody

but is reserved for only one person

Then it is degrading

                         To both the Speaker and the Spoken-to

And as such it is Meaningless

& Harmful to both

For it is limited and makes love seem trite and selfish

( which it is not )

BUT

despite all the Pain and Grief we cause

Ourselves and Others

We persist in our folly

Because that is what we are told love is

On television

And we will honor our idols until death

Do us part
