If It Is True Love


It smells like soft grime, 
Engraved to live raw... 
Without dating crime, 
Or go against law

Just to survive tough,
Regards never plead...
To bail, been so rough;
Handling such huge need

Life keeps on pressure... 
Painful stakes handle-
Anew like fresher
Coping with scandal

Enough to quit smoke,
Firing to evoke...
