Love I Know

A love like panic
waiting for replies
that may
or may never arrive

is not a love
I long for
anymore

A love like a game
with competition
and winning
conditions

is not a love
I care to
endure again

A love like a show
for the people
you know
who watch so close

is not a love
I need
to feed on

A love for laughs
is only a joke
It cannot last
on its own

It is not a love
That brings
me any joy

A love of peace
A love of cooperation
A private love
A love of dedication

This is the love I know
and am better for
This is more
than I need
