Question: Have you ever been disappointed in "Unconditional Love"!?
Unconditional Love

You walk away from me,
have I said too much!?
What of the vow
of honesty
we pledged to
each other's trust!?
My words paint
a picture too bleak
for your eyes
oh, I see now
unconditional love
was based on
me being what
you needed me to be,
not on who
I may become
as long as I was
bright morning star
in whose arms
your anchor found
ah, then your love
was true but
now life's fickle
tide has changed
the one being
tossed about is me
my upside-down
topsy turvy take
does not meet with
your approval
fine, then alone this
walk into madness
I'll make as
you walk away from me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Believe me when I say I can feel these words as if they escaped from my own lips!. When I "walked into madness", I was deserted by those who professed their unconditional love!. It, of course, obviated their lack of absolute love, but served to open my eyes to the true nature of this kind of love!. This is a very fine poem, very thoughtful and evocative!. Thank you!.

Those words, though not quite so eloquently, could have come right from my mouth!.
And yet, I may be wrong about my own situation!.!.though there are times!.!.
Yes, I have been disappointed in 'unconditional love!.' I kind of think there are always conditions, minor though they might be!.
hmm!.!.!. wondering if perhaps you might consider using a different term than 'madness!?'
I love it Sue!.

I don't think I've ever been 'in love' not in the way that you describe!.
I always said I'd marry 'for like' and not 'for love'!.!.!.and I did!. 37 years later love has quietly stolen in!.

You wear your heart on your sleeve!.!.!.and we can see it bleeding! Keep your spirits up!.!.!.tomorrow could bring the sun!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Oh yes I have, but not this way, for I was the one who walked away, both in the case of my ex and my father!.
To me your poem speaks of a "trophy wife" valued ("loved") only for what she had to offer!. Great job!Www@QuestionHome@Com
