Love and Life

Life! Love! Life! A slight difference between Dreamland and reality One a home for believing Another a house for insecurities An unsafe place Where your safety is always Said to be taken care of; Funny how that is guaranteed To you with the lights off. Love! "A game of hearts" The Heart "It pumps blood" Definition of a heartbreak Is when you take what is meant To pump blood and play with it. Yolanda! What have you done? Love; I treated you badly Sadly; it took my heart first Being tired for me to admit to defeat. I thought you were the heart with all Those emoticons I constantly got. Love!On Whatsapp you Gave me the impression that If I see you through those puppy eyes That the emojis had to offer; you were more realer! Love; I misused you... The thing is, when I saw Romeo and Juliet and I was told it Was a love story I knew that at some Point you will hurt me so I might as well Act smart and avoid what might lead me To where Juliet ends up. Love! Life came knocking "Open your eyes" it said. "Love is blind" I replied. But Life told me that "Those with their eyes open are Capable of walking the bling to the forest" I told Life "No! I won't let go" Life said to me "If it was meant to be; It will come back to you" Love! Listen to me... Love; I got confused I confused your relationship with Life. Love tell me: Who is Life? Is it a male? Is it a female? Is it a person? Love please respond to me! "Yolanda; I am Love. I am not your heart. I dwell in your heart. My existence in your Heart keeps your heart pumping blood. The blood running through your veins Provides you with Life. Love is Life. Life is Love" One request Love. Provide with Life; Love be the life I want to Live.
