A Note on Love:

let's talk about love

and how it ***** your **** up

while you sip on its elixir

like it's doing

the most

wonderful thing in

the world

for you -

 

how it thrusts you

into the darkest places

you've ever known

to feel **** you

really feel

 

but

not

really

at all -

 

let's talk about how

beautiful it makes the world

when it does you

right

and how dark it can get

so fast -

 

or

 

how it can put

your entire

life

on fast

forward

or

set it on

a blissful

pause

or

bring it

to a

screeching--

 

STOP.

 

i've gotten my hands

plenty *****

in this game -

thinkin' i wouldn't

need gloves

to play

 

but

shit's dirtier than money

though

sweeter than honey...

 

so i sip

once more -

 

in lieu of

the learned

and because

of

the learned -

 

i'm downin' that elixir

until i'm ****** over

silly

because what

has been

learned

has been

learned

hard

& good:

drunken love

is the

only way

to love.
