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.
