They Say Love...

I wrote this in the first half of 2007. It is actually the last poem I wrote. Sadly, it is still very relevant.


They Say Love...


They say love conquers all
I say "they" made that shyt up!
Cuz his hate conquered my love
And my love bought me a one-way
Ticket to Loneliness and Despair

They say love covers a multitude of sin
Who the fuck comes up with this bullshyt?
Cuz my sins lie exposed
Like dog shyt on a rug
And the more I try to clean them up
The more they seem to go deeper
Into the fabric of our relationship
Stinking up our present
And making our future impossible

They say love is pure, love is perfect
But perfect I can never be
So those bastards must be wrong
Or maybe love can never find
Itself inside someone so imperfect, impure as me
Or maybe love, being perfect and pure
Makes up for imperfection and impurities
But that remains to be seen...

They say love can solve all the world's problems
But I've had problems in love and love didn't help me
And if love is so great, what happened to him,
Me, we, us, together, in love
What happened to forever?


They say love is a wonderful thing
Well, I'm glad those bastards think
Sitting alone in the dark, crying
Because your heart has been torn apart
Rocketed into space, and dispersed
Amongst the universe is so wonderful
It sure doesn't feel wonderful to me

The say love conquers all
Well, dammit, I guess they're right
Cuz that bytchh sure beat the shyt outta me!
