love is just a word,
and like two plus two can only be four,
four letters can not be more than their combination.

love is just good marketing,
contrived for the benefit of few,
who laugh at their sold insinuation.

love is just fear,
an extension of loneliness,
a placebo formed for isolation.

love is just a lie,
crafted by a wordsmith,
passed down through generations.

or is it.
