Love Is Cripple

Do you remember me Walking under the rain and sun To prove my love, Fetching your water, When friends and others said "I was as a madwoman?" Looking for you in every corner, Putting food in a bucket, Yet, you look in my face And said, "Love is cripple!" I didn't understand your tricky words, Till you modest me in tears. I understood you are not rich: We put heads together to get things right, Cherish whatsoever you have: Your tears always puzzle me in sadness, Your sad words critique my heart in agony: Suddenly, my pay is tears?! Now, I know love is cripple; As you romance her in your arm, Love her always, For she is, beautiful like Queen Vashti: I thought we were going to build a Museum of love, I thought we were going to be like Romeo and Juliet, Oh!, pain is my best offer?! Jesus did his best, yet he was betrayed; If love is cripple, Let me go and find someone Who will straighten my heart: Love me for who I am, my impressions, and throw away tears. I appreciate the tears and affliction!!!
