Love Is On Leave

A Dead Rose

There is no need for me to pretend that

I am better than I actually am

It's so much easier to just

Be myself rather than hide

Behind masks. Some people

Accept me, some don't, but

That's okay. What's important

Is that for the first

Time I have begun to

Accept myself. After all, what

I think of myself is so much

More important than

What the entire world

Together thinks of me.

The universe is not made of

Mere isolated,

constant relationships that need to

Remain stable.

I sought love me many lives. I shed

Bitter tears of separation and repentance to

Know what love is. I sacrificed everything, all

Attachment and delusion to learn at last

That I am in love with love

There is no need for me to pretend that

I am better than I actually am.

I thought you and I were together

And damn very happy forever,

But what I didn't know that

You and I were very different

I was clumsy and you were patient

I guess we didn't have it work out

Even when we knew it was meant to be

Because it was meant to be

But you said that I can't see

That you weren't happy with

WE.

It all began in December

And I know you remember

And I think I prefer

To stay this way instead of together

Was all. I could think ever

So I Don't say never.
