Spotted Love

you say u love me
but do u really mean it?
i mean, i love u
but is our love tainted?

there's a new saying
when love is less than like
but its still called love
although its blacker than night

like a dark hole
sucking in your heart
it reveals suddenly
cause it was there from the start

love, spotted
by a black hue
brown, red, gold doesn't matter
neither does silver, yellow, and blue

spotted love
soiled and tainted
when your love
likes u

well, this ain't rite
love is to like as
joy is to gladness
but lights fade as
darkness take over as
king of hearts
BUT....
hearts are red
like the blood in your veins
SO...
red is to black as
love is to like as
joy is to gladness...
.................
there is no
connection
especially
in
spotted love
