Dark love

They say love is a beautiful thing

It makes the beautiful and ugly all glow

They say it warms us up and it unsettles minds

They say it completes us

Fills up empty hearts

They say it softens up the vicious

They say it brings down staunch kings

Makes the outspoken speechless

As it renders the liberals unreasonable

They say is sees no evil

and it has an eye for beauty

They say love is generous

but it is clothed in jealousy

They say love has no conditions

but once broken it can’t be fixed

They say love comes easy

but you need to hold it close

They say love takes time to grow

what happens to love at first sight?

I say love is crazy

It throws caution out of the window

I say love is heartless,

founded on selfishness

I say love is a dream

too sweet till you wake up alone

I say love isn’t timeless

Easy lost than found

Too much too late

I wanted to correct the past,

rewrite our history first .

I wanted to give us a happy ending ,

Make our forever last a lifetime .

I wanted me to fight for us

I wanted to forgive myself for the wrongs you did

I wanted to say how sorry I have been coz woman is to error

I wanted to say I was too quick to call it quits

Too petty to just let it slide

Just after one too many firsts

I wanted to say am done mooning over you

That the heart craves rest after chasing after the fire

I think am done playing second

Too proud to eat them crumbs

I want to say this is the last of me

That am actually better without you

But look,

I don’t want perfection

Can’t we just be messier together?
