Deceit
Lies
Heart breaks
Pretending to love each other
but faux love erodes its luster
it fades and wears
as time passes
Apprehensions
Confusions
Jealousy
Plastic love gives
Fancy
Pretensions
Only tensions and anxiety it brings
Don’t hold on it
Let it go
Don’t cling with it
Escape from its claws
Tolerance
Appreciation
Respect
is what real love gives
Its brilliance shines
Like real diamond from the mines
It doesn’t wear nor tear
With the passing years
Nor its luster fades
When you put it in the shade
It continues to glitter
Like a pure gold it glisters
Trust, consideration,
Understanding, balance
Authentic love shows forth its beauty and radiance
~Champs Ulysses Cabinatan
