The Love Song _____ AKSHR

 

The Love Song 

What's love, you ask? 

It's a racing heart and 

a flood of endorphins every time

 you hear the cell phone ring.

Without love, you're a withering seedling, 

destined to die.

Without love, you're a washed-up actor 

with no money to pay your rent.

Without love, the pigeons will 

shit on you as you sleep in the park.

Without love, the universe is just 

a bunch of particles smashing into each other.

Love is not lust: 

lust is selfish and fleeting; 

it's every man for himself.

Love is not sex: 

sex can be used as an instrument of power;

 it's all about opinions and ratings.

Love is not security: 

it's a trap, 

and the more you want it, 

the more you're stuck.

Love is not a dream: 

dreams are for the young, 

and love is for the old.

Love is not a promise: 

promises are for fools 

who think they can predict their future.

Love is not an illusion: 

illusions are what we see 

when we don't know what's really going on.

Love is not power: 

power is something you use to make someone 

do what you want them to do; 

it's control without intimacy.

Love is not family: 

family members are people you share blood with; 

love requires choice.

What's love? 

It's a racing heart and 

a flood of endorphins 

every time you hear the cell phone ring.
