A vent about the hypocrisy of "empty love".
empty love

I love you
I love you!
I LOVE you!
you aren't invited

He's so great
He's just great!
I LIKE him!
I never call

We want you
We need you
You're special!
now go away

You're so skilled
You WOW me
That's awesome!
stay unemployed

if you "love" me
hug me
if you "want" me
befriend me
if you "need" me
say so
if you "like" me
invite me
if you "miss" me
call me
if you "support" me
vote for me
if "I WOW you"
recommend me
if I'm "special"
visit me

say and do, or please don't say
you kill me with your words
I'd rather be genuinely hated
than embrace an empty love
