To someones, reciprocity is a four letter word, or they think they are entitled to receive love in bulk but, if they thought it necessary, will dispense a quantity measured not to cause an overdose.
Gimme gimme gimme...
You, that asked
for my unconditional love
but said goodbye,
no waiting for
at least for my heart
to give a palpitant sound,
or for any word
coming from my hand...
You, always the asking one
demanding from love a sign,
but only giving your absence
in return, no life...
You, always looking,
always in search
around the world,
for the one that only gives,
for the one accepting all,
for the one on its knees
and asking not,
You, You, yes You!
don't demand
for my love anymore!!!

Reviews of "Love that demands...and demands...and..."
So beautifully expressed
Yes it takes two in a relationship
And love should be given and received
It cannot be one sided
And should not be claimed
Excellent message within this
Very profound poetic thought!!

You've expressed it well my friend! As the others have stated, love is a give and take relationship, it can't be one sided...
Excellent write my friend!

An excellent write, Georg, and I must say, good riddance to her. There are finer fish in the sea for a charming poet with a caring and loving heart such as you. Very well expressed.

You paint an aberrant personality type here Georg that I have had several encounters with in my past. These types are the soul killers that suck dry the life of another, and do so without caring or remorse. A strong right on write.
I am so conflicted about love, any kind of love, that this poem hits too close to home for me. But I guess that's what poetry is suppose to do: make us take a good look at ourselves even if we don't want to.
A demanding one offers nothing of soul's value, for togetherness is a mingling of soul and body. Giving-receivig centers union.
"Love that demands...and demands...and..." sings wisely.

Is there really such a thing as unconditional love? I often ponder that. Some do not understand that I may still love a past love in my life I surely didn't like them anymore and they became no longer my friend I chose to be with. Was that a conditional love? Lady J
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
