How do Louise Labe describe lovers’ behaviors?

Louise Labe mentions that love can drives people insane and makes them sick, and it can cause intense confusion for lover. For example, the main character was having an emotional rollercoaster, one moment she is dreaming and admiring her lover, and the next moment she is crying and hating her lover. She is constantly contradicting her feelings toward her lover, yet she cannot control or stop these feelings. Louise shows us the ugly side of love, which it can be an unpleasant experience. As a result, love can make people lose sight of who they are, and they develop obsession over their lover.
