Obligations Mood
Saturday, May 24, 2008 | A Painful story

    

     When does love become an obligation? When it's no longer given freely. When it's expected, and used as a tool to gain certain amenities. When your partner says I loved you, therefore you owe me...when it's held over someone's head to extract certain priveleges. When one say's... I gave up my life to put you first and now that I need you to put me first...you owe me that.When is love selfish? when it says... you are not allowed to have other friends, because I don't; I am here for you alone, therefore you should be here for me alone. When is love controlling? When it dictates; when, where and how one should live their life, who should be a part of their life and why? Because they love you. They not only cornered the market on your heart, they own

the market. When is love cruel? When it is used... to convince you that you have no real friends, they are all parasites for one reason or another, and they are the only one you have, in your life that is true blue. When did love become the cold, hard, bearer of bitter truths? When did love become such a sick obsession? When fear invades the depths of our beings, and turns love into something to hate.

    Love does not boast.
    So let us just listen to the other for a while.
    Love is not proud.
    So let us not be slow to apologize.
    Love is not rude.
    So let us speak to each other without spiteful chastise.
    Love is not self-seeking.
    So let us serve each other with a giving heart.

    So let us quench our anger before it has a chance to start.
    Love keeps no record of wrongs.
    So let us not keep record of our wrongs against one another.
    Love does not delight in evil.
    So let us not cast venom at each other.
    Love rejoices in truth.

    So let us keep one another protected in our prayers to God, above.
    Love always trusts.
    So let us trust in each other.
    Love always hopes.
    So let us always find hope in the midst of despair for one another.
    Love always perseveres.
    So let us persevere together through the trials of life.
    Love never fails.
