Used love

I cannot write sappy love lines. I have no use for them.

They will not feed me or clothe me or bathe me.

Therefore, all I can say is I have no use for love.

It only leaves and takes and breaks.

 

No one needs love, especially not mine.

The love of an unlovable is never enough for anyone.

And I try to explain it to you, but you won't listen

Love has poisoned your mind... Just like it did mine not too long ago.

 

You reach out to me, but the man who came before left a six foot four fortress surrounding me.

I'm left cold and hard to escape the silly sappy love that I would rather do without.
