Love knows nothing

Am I such a silly fool.
To fall in love with a man who is in love with another.
Is it foolish to want him, to need him, to admire him even.
When the other knows nothing of me, of us.
Do I risk more than I am capable of losing.
What does love know.
Love knows nothing.
But love rules.
Along side of lust.
The two in a constant struggle to be the one in power.
While reason is bound in chains and left to die.
Who will be the victor love or lust.
Perhaps neither
