There is a lot of bad poetry. I think I will just make visual prose instead.

Can there be love without any incentive; without wanting something for oneself out of love? Can there be love in which there is no sense of being wounded when love is not returned? If I offer you my friendship and you turn away, am I not hurt? Is that feeling of being hurt the outcome of friendship, of generosity, of sympathy?
