Desperate For Love

I sat beside love and felt her hand;
Her passion put a barricade on my mouth.

I just couldn't come to tell her;
She became too demanding.

Love's silk smooth skin;
Her perfect imperfections.

Her cooking is phenomenal;
Before stale as stone.

Makes me wonder if she knows...
I found another Love.

Love, tugging back and forth;
Which do I choose...

My Mother always told me,
From her past experiences... Love is like oil...

It can be destroyed in seconds,
But can take a lifetime to recover
