Desired Love

My mother instilled a desire in me A desire for love and connection I wish I didn’t need this slight dependency But it’s far too late for correction So whoever you are out there We’ll meet and into your eyes, I’ll stare Many adults believe teens are not capable of love We just want a fling or someone to claim as property Am I not allowed to be deep instead of keeping my head above? For I want my heart to be a victim of robbery Whoever you are, you’re a thief With a beautiful smile of shiny teeth I want this love to have a gravitational pull The love burning like Earth’s core It is rooted in the ground and keeps our hearts full And I’ll die knowing it’s you I adore Instead of fear, I’ll be content Because it’s our love and we’ll be laying in it
