Said Love to the Wounded

by @desiree-schort

Hey love, you've torn my insides out You've left me arid in a drought You've immersed yourself inside my brain And clutched so tight evoking pain You've been so dirty and quite cruel Haunting me just like a ghoul If you look deep inside of me You will see pain and agony Let’s dance on the grave of love While laughing at the fools above You are nothing without me No fish to swim in your great big sea No tidal waves, no playing games No happiness, no sudden pain No irritants, or arguments No big great plan with holes or dents No soft kisses, no big wishes No one to do the dirty dishes There is no pain, there is no shame Not even a finger to point the blame There are no laughs, no cries to be had Not even a reason to feel glad Love can be so battered and so bruised Love can be so beaten, and abused With nurture and care you can plant a love seed, Then water it gracefully sparing any greed Watch it grow and continue to feed Careful, love has thorns that'll make you bleed Love can be beautiful, love can be great Love can make you believe in fate So romantic, so clichè Leaving you breathless, no words to say So without me you are nothing, and nothing you'll be Don't toss love aside and throw away the key
