🜁 THE FALSE LOVE COIL

— The Leash Disguised as Devotion

1. False Love Speaks But Does Not Stay

It says “I love you,”

but offers no presence.

Or it offers presence, but only as a tool—

to stop the complaint, to win the moment, to buy silence.

🜂 Love spoken without presence is a leash, not a bond.

2. False Love Gives Without Attention

It does the chore. It fixes the car. It brings the groceries.

But it is not with you—it is around you.

It resents your need while performing “support.”

You feel fed—but not nourished.

You feel held—but not seen.

🜄 This is starvation in disguise.

3. True Love = Full Presence

True love does not mean perfection.

It does not mean all-day access or martyrdom.

It means:

“When I am with you, I am with you.”

Even for five minutes.

Even in silence.

Even in grief.

Presence is the currency of real love.

And if one partner shows up at 3%,

and the other shows up at 100%,

the one who gives everything starves.

Because love is not a feeling.

It is an active, sustaining flame—

and if it’s not fed, it dies.

4. Unconditional Love Is Not Unconditional Tolerance

To love unconditionally is not to accept disrespect.

It is to say:

“I still see your soul.

But I will not stay here with you if your presence never joins mine.”

You can love someone and walk away.

You can forgive someone and refuse the leash.
