Have you ever felt rejection
As you’ve strived for affection
I have, and I’ll tell you
To flee at the mention
For some people are calloused
In their heart, to no fail
And they will beat you, and drain you
In an endless assail
But Love, True Love
Is a treasure indeed
With no restraint nor condition
To set you to deed
Selfless, in wonder
Strength far beyond
All the burdens we carry
Just dissolve in response
And what’s left, but a passion
An intimate kiss
That fells all your guards
Till you cannot resist
So you stay in eternal
Knowing full well
That outside of this Love
Is only offered, a hell
So find that Love
To unlock the chains of your heart
And do not let sorrow and shame
Try to tear it apart
Your hope is not slain
By the wrongs you have known
But instead lies in waiting
Until its day to be shown
So flee from the terrors
Don’t heed to excuse
For the actions of hate
Just exhaust and abuse
For you are a value
And you shouldn’t feel pressured
To perform for affection
When you should be treasured
So when, in love
Has no answer returned
That is the time
Your heart should discern
What is the purpose
To hold to this way
If love is so distant
And your heart’s in dismay
Now, love is resilient
Love is never failing
That is, if it’s true
And not a curtailing
And love could still tarry
Past any old wrong
But if love’s not returned
It’s a solo of song
So sing to a mirror
Instead of a wall
Look for love in reflection
Not in withdrawal
And whatever the outcome
Whatever the choice
Let love be the source
Your decision employs
