I don’t think it’s love
Cause I know what that is
I think…
I suppose love is supposed to make us think
Be full of reds and pinks
Like love is never blue
Like love never has you down and out
Like love won’t get you through
Like love won’t have you
crying to your momma
Like love didn’t have you
voting for Obama
Like love won’t have you spending your very last dollar
Like love don’t ever make you scream and holler…
from those pains..
if you..
Know what..
I’m saying
Like love won’t have you reminiscing
All the folks who’s been diminishing
Like love won’t have you drifting
Shifting
yourself
To be placed upon a brand new shelf
Cause you discovered
Your brand new wealth
Like love won’t ever have you
weak in the knees
Like love won’t ever have you
Begging them please
To not seize
The feelings
Like love won’t have you ever forgetting
For all the times
Your love did some healing
Like love won’t nurture you
Feed you the things that one could never do
Like love isn’t fulfilling
And enough alone
Like how you could never be alone
When love fills one alone
Like love ain’t the greatest thing
to
ever exist
Like love won’t make you feel good
All while being sick
Like love don’t ease the aches
Could never be placed
In a category
Of medicine
Though
Love heals all
in the time of Edison
Like love isn’t one
of
the purest regimens
At least I thought
Ya know?
