Face to face

Alan R

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.

 

-Al
