we fall out of love eventually
true love stories sacrifices et al
look good in story books and movies
probably because they give us hope
the truth is the sooner you accept it
the easier life gets each passing day
though how painful it may seem
eventually one sees it today or tomorrow
that love and only love for someone
won't save you but your own very self
the choice is not yours to force them
unless they choose to love you
your self care, financial independence
no expectations, pragmatic outlook
and all those things that cut you
from depending on someone else
is what will become your true consort
and this what shall bring you
your own happiness and comfort
that you always deserved.
