Where Is The Love?

A lot of people keep searching for the answer
No one seem to know and it slips away like a dancer
There is no solution in sight and it spreads like cancer
Most people want to play, no one wants commitment, it's like fanfare
Most people settle for convenience rather than love
They go for the easier option because they want to be defined
We live in a society that thrives on title
They look down on you when you are single or unmarried
Everyone puts themselves under pressure for no reason
Well, they don't want to be judged by society's judgemental gaze
They seem to search frantically so they can find their heart a space
It doesn't matter whether love is there or not, they just want a place
Where is the love that everyone seem to be out of touch with it?
Are humans not naturally born with so much love in their heart?
Why is it that we have deception everywhere on earth?
Everyone is in it half heartedly and out for easy options
Their hearts seem to be on sale, ready for the auction
We try so much to convince ourselves with all words concoction
But the heart knows when it loves or not, it's a normal deduction
Where is the love nowadays? Everyone's heart seem cold

A very good question for so many hearts. Everyone is busy chasing money and they have no time for a relationship. It's sad that most people go into a relationship because of what's in it for them and love seem to be secondary for most people these days. Gone are the days when I love you means so much but not anymore...

That's it...love for money has taken over love for others. Some people even deceive others in the name of love 😂🤣😂🤣. How cold hearted can people be, really... Whatever rocks their boat I guess... We just have to accept the new reality of life that love is fading gradually...

It's a sad new reality but we have little effort to make because we can't change other people's actions. It is well.

They look down on you when you are single or unmarried

This is usually due to culture until today most friends and family asking for a child from me which I cannot give I can't find the right one to share the joy of a baby's life with.

Edit: When I read this particular poem of yours I start to rap by myself i think people around me thinks I'm crazy now 😂😂😂

Exactly change comes from the individual you need to kill the old you to unlock the new you. It's a sacrifice we all need to make.

Love has an expiration date, and love based on deceptions and lies will not last.
It's better to stay single than married to the wrong one.

Some love is based on how much money you make, while others are based on how well you perform in bed.

Relatively, there is more to tell, but what is most important in love is when your other half will accept you for who you are and never give up on you.

That seems to be a rare occurrence these days. Because most people find it easy to end a relationship or divorce. That's is the easiest option they have to make.

My partner pass away in an accident and his love will always stays. After him, it's hard for me to find his replacement. For me, love that end with death, last forever.

This is a brilliant comment... You spoke my mind and touched every aspect too. You are absolutely spot on. It's harder to find that true love these days.

I'm deeply sorry about your partner. That's so tough and that memory stays forever. Your love can never die.

If I recount my entire experience, it might fill the entire book. I've witnessed it all. Now I just focus on taking care of myself and spending time with my family, who value me.

Regarding my deceased partner, he has left me a priceless gift despite the fact that he is no longer with us. Our little girl. And I'm so grateful to God for giving me a reason to live.

That girl is a bundle of joy and I'm glad you have her as a positive reminder. Thank God for that. 🤗🤗🤗

She is and it always will be. For the time being, she's not with me; my in-laws were the ones who looked after her. Since my late partner was the only son, she is the only heir in the family. So, I let them look after her.

That's nice and kind of you. I'm sure he's being taken care of and you get involved as much as you want to as well. I pray for more strength for you, my friend.

I read the title of the post and thought, love is in those people who, like me, at some point got carried away by this feeling that makes us happy fools.
Hey I respect everyone , but nope I think I 'll get over this , well you know , maybe I 'm too sensitive haaaaaaa

What a great reflection friend, recently I was talking to a friend about that, that people are afraid of commitment, to go further with a person, they just look for fun and that's it, but well it's a great question the one you raise in your poem, some because they don't like commitment and others that just don't want to be hurt again that's why there are more people with cold hearts, thanks for sharing ☺

Thank you so much. Yes, we have more cold hearts as many people don't want to be hurt again especially those who got hurt multiple times.

Exactly. We settle for money instead of spreading more love and doing the most for ourselves.
