Dear KP
Does love's pity pity love?
To answer your question, I have to break this down and bring it down to a place where I can reflect on it.
Webster defines love as 1. strong affection for another based on kinship (maternal love for a child), 2. attraction based on sexual desire, and 3. affection based on admiration or benevolence. I define love as action.
Webster describes pity as sympathetic sorrow for one suffering, distressed, or unhappy; compassion, something to be regretted. 
Pity to me is patronizing, power driven, and an empty expression of status over another person; supposed quilt. So to answer your question, "Does love's pity pity love" I would have to say no because love is a supportive, regenerative, and action based reality. Pity is condescending, belittling, and a feign approach to connect with others from a have/have not, right/wrong position.
In short, love is the antithesis of pity. Love is the work, action, drive, and commitment for an individual, a particular relationship, or a cause. Its foundation is pure, not perfect.
When confusion, misinterpretation, or hurt feelings become self-evident, there is no tear down process toward the person, relationship, or cause. There is a build-up, supportive connection that is evaluated on a regular basis for the betterment of the individual, relationship, or the cause. Not to bring your partner or others down.
Love is "excuse me," not "f... you." Pity is "hahaha" or "unfortunately that didn't happen to me" as opposed to "you can do better" or "here is a strategy that works for me."
You see, I contend that most people know love the way dictionaries define it because it illustrates affections from the vantage point of sex, kinship, or admiration. It is emotions without consequences or commitment, purpose or principle that is bigger than the moment. This defined type of love is affection for someone else (oftentimes passive aggressive from a dependency stance) and not for yourself or the betterment of the kinship.
Sex is fun. BUT sex is instantaneous, momentary, and self-destructive to relationships when that's all two or more people share.
Maternal love is conditional, traditional, and to most people, a rational response to child rearing because of the supposed connection that mothers should have after bearing a child. However, many adults understand real-time that when the seed becomes old enough to speak for itself and view life independent of the mother's maternal love (which is oftentimes fraught with uncertainty and naivety), strife and a fight for independence
challenges or ruins this relationship, connection, and nexus.
As for admiration, this is dangerous because most people loose themselves in the glow of someone else. However, in and off itself, all three exclusive of time and life's mysteries are momentary and explosive. As most people not it, admiration, sex, and maternal love are power driven. So for many, real love is demonstrative concessions where equality shares no place. Until we challenge notions of what is, these definitions will continue to fuel prescribed roles which have traditionally ended fatally i.e. divorce, separation, cheating, etc...
In sum, Love's pity cannot be pity if it is love because love knows pity, but lives to ensure that those emotions are managed in its house.
