Andrew Crisci Poet Lyric

Earn the Love and Keep It

Earn the love  and keep it,
turn each impossible thought
into a believable fact;
earn it and be worthy of it.

Paint love in bright colors,
accept the joys it gives,
don't reject its boring times:
follow in the footsteps of lovers.

Earn the love and keep it,
strengthen it
with togetherness 
and push it
in the right direction;
in wanting it, 
you reinforce devotion.

Keeping it puts you into high gear,
avoiding it is a cause built on a lie;
and whichever side you turn to,
you dig deeper the hole left inside of you,
with bitterness, you'll say,
" I was the generous giver with the biggest heart,
now, I am the lonely one in search of myself.

Earn the love and keep it,
in bringing it upright
there's merit beyond thought;
now, I am the repentant 
one who'll pay the high cost,
the lost one without worth.
