eros: love conceived by Plato as a fundamental creative impulse having a sensual element

It can be disputed exactly how many versions of love there are according to greek myth and philosophy. But I know for a fact that no amount of eros, could have prevented the inevitable.This isn't a cryptic illicit attempt to debunk the defunct myths that are so often taken for truth.Consider this subliminal written graffiti that asks permission, not anothervandal with words trying to publiclymake sense of why "we didn't work out."1. According to an expert on love and relationships, I didn't recreatethe dysfunction of your childhood.I was too kind, and didn't make you sufferenough emotionally. Perhaps if I tormented you a bit more, I would have simulated the familiartoxicity. I your muse, and you a tormented soulattempting to break free from this so called love.2. This same relationship expert says that everyonehas their own version of neuroticism and it has to beclearly stated and embraced by both people. Clearly I am open about the fact that I believe the worldruns on love and other non-objective things; I iteratedmy crazy notions of how revolutionary love can be.I don't think it was an issue of compatibility of one another'sneuroses but the denial of yours' existence.

This can be perceived two ways: the first a one sided poetic allegory generally implicating greek myths and philosophyfor the failures of human love-relationships being based on fairytales. Or the second is a really digressiveway to express my gratitude to you for giving me a learning experience that became a journey toloving myself.
