Love Yourself

Young ones you’ve heard of love And the beautiful rudiment of it You must have been told by folks How sweet is the very first kiss Under the bright or dark sky With a burning emotion kindled inside Young ones I’m sure you were told There is nothing as good love Or will there ever be a thing to compare Lovely words to twist your feeble heart That bend your knee to beg for love Or crave for the feelings of such You must have heard of pleasures That done by lover behind curtains Where no eyes must be allowed to see The immoral practice of naked acts Which has now been the very sacrifice And proof of the love we share today Young one all the paradisiacal world Of love is only but a temporal heaven The greatest lines of pains and regret Were carved out from a broken love No man can give the you love heard about So my advice for you is to love yourself Love yourself than any other man on earth Seek first your comfort and not theirs What’s pleases your soul and not them But if you chose to play the game of love Lower your hopes and lessen your trust Give the first to yourself the second also Do not trade your heart for trifle words With a thousand meaning but less worths Poetry has been a deceitful scripture Quoted by dramatic men of false feelings For many has made sour beautiful hearts With the verse of that three little word
