Love, That Is

Love in negative terms.

Over the years
They've gotten so mean,
The insensitiveness of their character
Is ever-flowing like a stream
Love, yeah love that is

Good intensions, they have many
But the amount of cruelty they have
Don't allow any
Love, yeah love that is

Very seldomly things go good
Sometimes they give good advice
But when things don't go their way,
Those are the times they aren't so nice
Love, yeah love that is

When they're in need
Favors are all they know,
They say they love you
But betrayal is all they show
Love, yeah love that is

Why is it so hard for them
To let go and believe
If they don't step up to the plate
They'll lose the one they've conceived
Love, yeah love that is

Just because they're the eldest
It doesn't mean that love and care isn't needed
Even if there isn't recognition
It doesn't mean that hurt isn't seeded
Love, yeah love that is

It is an enormous writing on love that reflects the contradiction,extreme sensitiveness, and supernaturality of love which are really thoughtful.
However, I like it, and i focus on 4th stanza.
