Alone

What is it to be in love?

How do we describe love?

How do we humans feel love?

what is love?

There is eros love

there is philia love

there is storge

agape,

and ludus love

there is pragma love

and philautia love

I once knew a man named Eros

Eros was no ordinary man

he loved a woman that called herself Prauk

Eros was a strong passionate lover who

gave everything to her..

she gave nothing back in return

he yearned for her attention

her smile is what he craved

for Eros's love was a love made for marriage

he found emotional bonding through sex

his offspring were his pride and joy

but Prauk took everything from him...

because

she had no love

this woman was crooked

she was loveless

Eros ended up ALONE

with no one by his side to guide him

no one to give to

just ALONE

Philia was an elderly lady built on trust

her closest friend was Ezra

they'd been friends for nearly 30 years

playing chess on weekends

after a while this so called Ezra fell in love with

Philia

Philia loved him so

but little did she know she loved him as a friend

Ezra is her best friend

so when she realized a week later that it was

WRONG

she told him

she didn't love him

but she loved him as a friend

and this broke his heart

Ezra no longer visited

Philia broken from the loss of her friend

sat alone in her apartment for two months

until she died of heartache

"Stop" Amelia had said to Storge before he

released himself within her

Storge was reckless and did not care

he cared only of the relief he felt

a seventeen year old boy now a parent

but not by choice fights the mother Amelia

for custody

but Amelia was a hookup

Storge drops out to work for his child

to pay for this child that he brought into the world

by accident

Amelia forced to be a mother at the age of sixteen

almost gave up their precious girl Olivia

after one month

she said its to hard

I'm not fit to be a mother!

Storge beat her saying that she wouldn't give away

his child

that kid was his only love

one day Amelia without consent

gave Olivia away never to be seen again

Storge beat and bruised Amelia for this

leaving him alone in despair mourning the loss of

his first love

Olivia

a white man named Agape fell in love with the

church at the age of ten

to say I swear by you god I will not sleep with thy

other sex until I'm married

being bullied in school for his beliefs

he had no friends

he'd go home to cry

or he'd simply spend his evenings at the church

the lord is his savior

being bullied growing up and having no friends

pushed him to be alone

by choice

by faith he was alone

by age fifty five he had yet to touch another sex to form

pleasure

never seen the bare chest of a woman

he was alone

we're in a bar and you see

Ludus

an attractive woman walk over to the bar

you see her giggle and smirk and the man beside

her buy her a drink

they slip out

slowly with his hand on her waist

a hookup maybe?

the next day you're in a different bar same Ludus

shorter dress

she walks in as if she owns the place

all eyes on her

she does the same act

and gets exactly what she wants this time walking out with

both guys on her waist

she loves the thrill of the game

the chase rather?

different guy every night leaving just her smell behind

making said man want more

but the thought of growing old alone haunts her

like a ghost

and she knows in the long run she is never gonna

love anyone

its all a game

Have you ever just needed someone to lean on?

as though you were unstable

as though without them you'd fall

fail even

or maybe you're in an arranged marriage?

that's what happened to Pragma a twenty year old girl

forced to marry at the age of twelve she knows nothing

but Eric

Eris is her guardian and her lover

she pleasures him to make him happy

but receives no joy she stays with him simply for

the fact that she was told to love him

her parents have told her she loves him

she believes nothing but that

so she leans on him as her rock

and can not do anything without him

never will she know what it is to be alone

or to make her own choices

The last story is about Philautia a beautiful girl

whom loved no one

she pleasured herself

and she embraced her self

she simply cared for no other being

but herself

never having the warm embrace from someone else

she learned to love herself

if she could she would marry herself

being in love with ones self

can be dangerous because eventually you will realize

you're ALONE

and you can't be by yourself anymore

everyone ends up alone with nobody to love

what is the point of loving some other being if we

just end up broken?

we fall in love with the wrong ones

unable to find the right one because the right one

is with the wrong one

so why?

why are we told to "let everything we do be done in love"

when there is no love

love is just something we say in spite of ho we

feel

they will always be alone

you will always be alone

with nothing left to do

these warm hearted peoples hearts went cold

a heart can only take but so damage

Overfilling and bursting

Without your heart you can’t live

Without your one you can not presently live

You are absent from the real world

Just a body in the mass

But you are not alone

So many lifeless bodies wander the streets everyday

EVERYONE is broken

We do not know who the right ones are!

Maybe there is more than one “one”

You say you could not presently live without someone

But you do it everyday

Breathing

Blinking

Surviving just one more day without them

At times you might be down because you believe

You will never! Find that one for you!

And that you are the only one!

That feels this pain

But you are not alone! Everyone has once, is, or will walk the same path as you

Broken and alone they will realize they are not alone.

Eros,Philia and Storge’s love

As well as agape, Ludus,pragma and philautias love

Because their love is not tragic

It is normal and strong

Their love is that of an ordinary beings

They are not alone

Eros did not end up alone

After his broken heart was mended from Prauk

He found a women

Who loved him so

Her pride was her children

And she loved having a family

Eros was happy and more alive then he had ever been

He found the right one after the wrong one was gone

Philia although dead was not alone

Ezra attended her funeral and learned to forgive her

She was his best friend

Ezra was buried next to Philia the next month

With a Tombstone saying

I will forever love You my sweet Philia

She is not alone

After years of devastation

Money lost to government

And lots of time spent in court

Storge found Olivia

His first love and rescued her from her

beholders

Storge is relieved because his accident turned to his joy

He is not alone because he has Olivia

Agape continued to praise the lord

For he was his savior

So when he met a women of the same faith

That grew up the same way because

She chose faith over man!

He fell in love with her because she was his one and that one made him not alone.

Touching the bare chest of a woman BY 60 agape

Was happy he waited

and made his promise to the lord

His holy savior

Ludus oh Ludus a strong willed women

She knew nothing but the game of chase

Not knowing the difference between love and lust

She finally fell in love

but it is a relationship in which

She is happy

because she can play the games she chooses

Her partner has the same problem

but the fear of ending up alone

scared them into a relationship

in which they grew to be happy

Pragma forced into marriage

Forced to love Eric

Made her First choice

She chose to run away

Once away from Eric

Pragma fell in love

With a Sweet country boy who always brought her joy

Never to hear from her parents again Pragma was free

But not only free she was happy

Philautia who grew up alone

Felt the warm embrace of someone else

She fell in love with Nadia

Nadia loving every single piece of her

Philautia was rejoiced because she knew she couldn’t of been alone for ever

Because being alone will damage your soul

No matter how broken one becomes there is always a one

A one that will hold your hand through the dark

Because you are not alone

And neither are they…

Through their journeys they are born, broken, and mended back together

When they believe they can’t get back up.

Don’t give up because there’s a one for you too
