We throw around “I love you” Like children playing catch Disregard for incubated tenderness Too impatient to let it hatch. We throw it on the floor ***** with all kinds of mud Disregarding potential growth Limited as a spud. We drag it in the dust As if we never care Hearts. Raw love. Precious. Yet, not considered rare. Perforated souls Deadly games of fear Initial intention: hope and love Yet harbored pains appear Yet smiles appear on every face Pretending its all ok Too hard to face true worth I suppose So our hearts of love, become child’s play. A common misconception We believe the lies are true But let’s review true treasure again Let our understanding of love be new.

Child’s play
We throw around “I love you” Like children playing catch Disregard for incubated tenderness Too impatient to let it hatch. We throw it on the floor ***** with all kinds of mud Disregarding potential growth Limited as a spud. We drag it in the dust As if we never care Hearts. Raw love. Precious. Yet, not considered rare. Perforated souls Deadly games of fear Initial intention: hope and love Yet harbored pains appear Yet smiles appear on every face Pretending its all ok Too hard to face true worth I suppose So our hearts of love, become child’s play. A common misconception We believe the lies are true But let’s review true treasure again Let our understanding of love be new.
