Your poem says so much. I love how you capture such a deep truth in just a few words. The idea of rising above ego feels so true. Your choice to keep it minimal makes it hit even harder. Beautifully done!

So true! It means thinking less of one's self and more about the other. Otherwise, it's all take with no give in a relationship that would be doomed from the start. Wise advice in just a few words.

What a great poem. It teaches without being preachy. Forgiveness begins by putting ego aside and love takes the lead. I wish the world could read your poem. It would be a better place.

This is so cute! I love it! Not sure how you got it so small and pocket-sized but it works perfectly. The message is clear that there simply isn't room for anyone else when self-love dominates. Well done and good luck! A strong contender:) Debbie

Ciao mystery poet, you now have three votes!

Love is all about giving, being there for others.

Those who are self centred can never really love , it's all about their needs first.

    I am so thankful, for that vote. Sometimes these short contests are more about prsentations, than the words written. I am also grarteful for the review. Italian???

Hi Mystery Poet,
If a relationship is going to endure, you must put your all into it. The love you receive is directly related to the love you give.
If you only love yourself, the relationship will fail. It's lop-sided.
Nicely penned for the 2-6-2 poetry contest! Good Luck!
Cheers,
Kimbob

Wow! This is a hauntingly good 2-6-2 poem. You used each and every word with resounding tact and placement. This may be the greatest short verse poem I've ever read. Congrats, you have just written a "banger" as my brother and I would say.

I love this style of poetry. So short and romantic. Just the right amount amount amount of words to express to the one you so love.
Happy Holidays!
