LOVE IS NOT SWEET

Love, are you sweet?

There are lovers I meet

Who say you are accurate and sweet

But have they ever tried Lolipop sweets?

Or honey, ice cream, banana and meat?

Love, these are things  you cannot beat

How ever much you try, you cannot out complete.

 

Love, are you really sweet?

I pity lovers whom you mistreat

When you leave, alone they walk down streets  

when you leave, alone one sits on the love seat

With their hearts pounding like a drum beat

You should see a broken lover at night, late

They lay awake without bed sheets 

 

Love you are not sweet.

You bump into us and ask “trick or treat”

Then you strike and knock lovers off their feet

Hurting like Hell’s heat

Then you separate them apart, six or seven feet

Oh Lord, instead send me milk and honey to eat

And if you may send love, send it with sleep

For love is not quite sweet.
