Wasteland

This world is a wasteland, and we the waste. We waste our money on things we don't need. We waste our time on things that don't deserve it. And we waste our love on people who aren't worthy of it. All too often we give our love to people who flatter us, or promise us the world with no intention of fulfilling that promise. We give out love to people who say they love us and would choose us over others, but don't. We give our love to people who make us feel safe, but do not excite our souls. We give our love to people who read us the perfect script, the same script they read all the others. We give our love to people who aren't worthy, and we do it far too often. Why do we do it? We do it because we long for a connection. We do it because we hope that this time will be different. We do it because we believe we can change them. We do it because we want to be loved. All we want is to find love in this wasteland.
