Why can’t love literally be sensibly straightforward?

By Stanley Collymore

No number of lame excuses nor
serial, evidently unconvincing
explanations are ever likely
now to persuade me towards believing
a solitary word that you’re implausibly
saying for you have simply again and
again and seemingly too significantly
very indifferently also, demonstrated
that you’re totally untrustworthy and
therefore realistically, it’s essentially
very impractical, for me to trustingly
believe anything that you say to me.
A most heart-rending shame which
now completely, crucially envelops
this false relationship which rather
uncomfortably for me, we’re firmly
still regrettably, unquestionably in.

For quite dissimilar to respect,
admiration and even intense
hatred, love clearly doesn’t
have an automatic switch off button,
which, rather essentially, does mean
that the bearer of it, can quite easily
find him or herself in effectively the
most invidious of situations where
regrettably but clearly involuntarily
they are still truly intensely, in love
with the person who's consciously
causing them such psychological
harm and deep physical pain. And
that regrettably, due solely to your
callous and selfish actions, is just
precisely the state which I’m in! A
figure of ribald mockery earnestly
hoping, to break free of your hold
on me; and truly be myself again.

Author's Remarks:

However much so that deranged minds try to exculpate the offenders and pass off their odious and insulting actions as “no big deal” purposely, callously and fraudulently convincing another person that you’re genuinely in love with them while consciously knowing that you’re not and moreover are equally well aware that you have no intention of ever doing so is, in my estimation and in marked contrast, a very big deal; thoroughly reprehensible and completely unforgivable on the part of the perpetrator! Since no one has the right – notionally or exclusively – in my view to consciously and uncaringly treat another human being with such utter contempt while selfishly and arrogantly employing the most beautiful and effective medium of human communication – the efficacy of love – to falsely do so.

And if literally among the millions of you out there who selfishly and arrogantly can’t see that are basically far too intellectually challenged to cognizant that fact, as you perceive it unrealistically to be by declaring what is the fuss all about, while the rest of you entrenched lowlifes really believe that exercising that sort of control over another person certainly does express “real love” and control over the victim’s welfare and well-being; and that without this arbitrary control, even the victims themselves would be far less satisfactory in their own lives – a classic case of he or she beats me as well as cheats on me contemptuously to keep that person on their toes literally and also because the individual on the receiving end of this deep inside considers what’s being done as an act of genuine caring; then unquestionably both yourself and that sick individual you eulogize, adore and put up on a pedestal seriously need to get yourselves much needed psychiatric help and quickly so! For the only alternative is a wooden box called a coffin with you in it and placed, if you’re not cremated, six feet under the surface of the Earth; which would be far more merciful to what you’re currently enduring!
