Love is...
Love is not real
It leaves scars that can never be healed
Its a shallow, hollow, empty deal
Love is a monster and you're its next meal
Love is an insect or a bug
It infects you and you don’t even know you’ve been stung
It’s the matador waving and shoving that bright passionate lustful red flag in your face
You charge after it and you end up in humiliating disgrace
Because you are the bull they make fun of
Love taunted you knowing you were gonna
Cling to it like drapes
That was your first mistake
You thought it would be there, you thought it would wait
Well you're wrong. Always have been, always will be
You’re the pathetic victim of Love’s latest killing
Love is prickly
It can be sweet but sickly
And thorny
But mostly it’s picky
Not everyone loves the same
Some Love is wild, some Love is tame
But in the end Love leaves you injured and lame
No gain, just pain
Love is cruel
It leaves you lying alone in the dark like a fool
You fell for his eyes and his smile
You thought he would stay awhile
So you could talk about movies and music and art
And he was so handsome and charming and smart
In the end you gave him your heart…
I told you not to do it.
Not to give him your heart to do with as he chooses
To hurt and bruise it
To use and abuse it
To break it.
You offer him your heart and of course he takes it
You don't realize the mistake you've made
Now it comes back to haunt you
Actions need to be paid
Love isn't real
No matter what you feel
Turn your heart to ice and your soul to steel
Because Love will always end
The Love you thought you loved won't be there again
It’s a wisp of smoke, gone before it was even born
Hard and plastic and fake like a toy
I can't believe you fell for that ploy
He left you on the ground
You cried for him tried to get him back
But we both know Love doesn't work like that Love is flimsy like paper in the wind
It’s a game with no winners, it is pain with no end
So cut your losses now
And when push comes to shove,
Don’t ever fall again for the trick that is Love.
