Where Is Love

Where is love? I've spent all my years looking From green hills to sandy beaches I've looked to the Heavens And perhaps even indulged the depths of Hell I've pleaded and made wagers I've even prostrated myself to God Again and again I ask the question Where is love? If love could be found surely I'd have done so By now I'd be in some delightful romantic dinner Swapping stories about rude customers While eating a beautifully cooked steak We'd look into each other's eyes And the spark would ignite a flame Before I slept I'd not have wept wondering Where is love? Perhaps I'll never find love Because I can't even love myself An overweight 27 year old man with a lazy eye Working part time at a grocery store Still just figuring out what this life really is I see no value when I look into the mirror Years of torment from my peers Served only to heighten disparate fears Where is love? I've run out of gods to beg I've run out of bottles of beer to consume And my poetic verse suffers In moments like this it's just raw emotion My hand flying all over the paper Hoping to make sense of my feelings Ten years of lonely nights could drive a man mad Always wondering Where is love?
