she is in love with love

she claims she loves you
however, her actions
reflect her words to be lies

if she loves you
would she not rush to your side
while you suffered in silent pain
awaiting the doctors verdict
on the condition of your bones
if she loves you
would she not defend your rights
as the father of her children
from those who wish their paths
to follow a crooked trail
if she loves you
would she not spend her time
arm in arm, hand in hand
sharing both the good and bad
building a foundation from that love
if she loves you
would she criticize
emotions long hidden
from your daily life
unleashed by sudden stress

if she loves you
she would support you
she would defend you
she would grow with you
she would comfort you

she does not love you
she loves the idea of love
she loves a romantic song
she loves a romantic movie
she loves candlelight and wine

she does not love you
love requires dedication
she has none
love requires work
she expects love to be
love is not a fairytale
she wants happily ever after

she does not love you
she cannot see the world as it is
she lives in a bubble of her own creation
she expects love to follow the script
she accepts no deviations
she wears chartreuse blinders
she never sees the rainbow of love

she does not love you
she is in love with love
