Love greets you
In the morning
Amid the afternoon
And evening, too

But what I receive
I must ration
To keep me
Pulling through

The difference is
You're greedy
Needs become desires
And thus, you pursue

While my chest's
Ripped open revealing
My *****
Beating loyally for you

And so here I am
Left wondering
If there's anything
I can do

To contain
All this emotion
As both contempt and love
Cloud my view
