You are lucky
to not be in love,
it hurts to badly.
but is it all worth
an empty heart?

If I loved you. You know what would happen
life would be different.
we could have read poetry and only cared about what we wrote
Talked about our friends behind their backs
not keep our words
and pretend to not know what is right
avoided helping a homeless man eat
and speed in school zones
the world would have been better if we were together
we could have been better than other couples
and flaunted our love in front of all the lonely souls
did drugs together
became to attached to our things
maybe even start a family
and raise those children on our beliefs and nothing less
to have an open mind, yet condem the poor and weak
those children would grow up hating us and we will love it
One will actually do something with her life
and the other will die trying
to get away from this life we have come to love
and we will grow old
with our money
and big house to ourselves
we could have been corrupt in our actions and thoughts
but we could have been in love and that is all that matters.
Not our friends
our families
our children
anything,
except our money and our beliefs.
and that would be our lives together
and oh, what a life it would be.
The life of a courpt american love story
the story we all follow
with or without permission
slowly we lean
until we die.
