Sour Love
‘Is love not bitter’? I repeat once again,
‘Think with your brain ’it can make you insane.
Rejection pierces my heart like a sharp sword,
Makes me move faster and slower than old ford.
Pain grips my heart with hand of stainless steel ,
Love poisoned my mind which makes me sick still.
Feel flared and foolish for being taken for ride,
My soul rides beside the dead bride with pride.
As my faith in love vanished into deep sea ,
I want to be free and sting like a bee.
Which makes some heads and legs not to comprehend,
This has brought “more joy, less excitement” my friend .
I’ve vowed not to fall in love…anymore,
but some still believe in it and its glamour.
