DEFINE LOVE
by DAEZY
A train wreck or mass emotion
Collides with the feeling of
Emptiness held deep within the
Rainbow of colors within your eyes
If you channel it, you will sink to your demise.
Lift your head to your heart
And find the key to
Your hidden emotion
You know?
The one you keep
Locked away, like money in a safe
And treasure, buried in a dead landscape
You know what I’m talking about!
It’s the thing you call love!
The one you abuse,
The one you say you treasure, but just
Throw away, and take for granted.
You know?
“Age ain’t nothing but a number, and the game ain’t
Nothing but a thing?”
That’s how you’re lured into
The trap of an evil
So powerful and vile
It becomes an addiction
That you won’t break, no matter
How hard you try.
You want it.
You need it.
The harder you fall,
The harder it is to return from
The deep bright pit of
Illusion you call love.
Love?
It’s a word.
It’s an emotion.
It’s a sickness.
We love it,
But love,
Hates
Us.
