Love was my default
My only way of living
Every little chance at love
I chased, until I used it all up
Quench this mind, its nerves
Love used to be my only answer
I may have taken that too far
I didn’t handle it well
It didn’t handle me well
Love was all I ever wanted
And now it is all I resent
I never weighed the price I paid
Now all I do, is delay
I have nothing left in me to bargain
Cannot afford what it thrives on
A number, I shouldn’t have signed off
Misplaced, tired, disgraced
Love and I, don’t talk face to face.
