L - Loser
Look back not long ago
A layer of life at my lowest of lows
A leader with lava in my lungs
Who spoke loudly but lacked legitimacy, leaping and laboring so living for my loved ones was lucidly luxurious
But looking lower under layers of love we find a lurid labyrinth of lies and lascivious lore
A level no man should linger
These latent lifestyles loomed longer and led to the landslide that leveled lives
Liberated truth lashed ligaments
The loss of my left hand man and nearly losing the love of my life
Leaking and lamenting the pain I have lured, the litter that no luck can lift
A loss of luster
Lust burns in true light
These lacerations will last a lifetime like the legend of my lies
Loyalty and love is law
A lesson learned in loneliness and longevity
