Love,
A word we carelessly throw around,
Casually to people we like and some we don't
An emotion so rare these days.
In a world so corrupt,
Families fueled by greed,
Betrayal fueled by lust,
Frenemies frolicking with lovers
We have accepted our fate,
We trust too little,
Love less,
Fake more.
So forgive me if I do not say the words back,
I am a child of this world,
I've learnt all too well,
My love is but nothing to be treasured.
Or perhaps I too have been corrupted
I know not what love is
So remind me
Of my innocence once lost.
