Love is

Our love was supposed to be prepared for the worst But when the worst came Our preparations were like sand to the rain More pain than false smiles can restrain More at a loss for words that any amount of poetry I write could gain Faced with the loss of where I found it My face often hides but, like all good things this life can bring Our love withered away and died I've been asleep for too long, let me wake up She right beside me, applying her make-up Don't want me to see her raw, she like a fish out of water Meanwhile I picture all this shit that I bought her I mean, that wasn't for outer appearances only That just shows me your concerns and how little you know me I swear we used to be like one and the same Then I slipped up, lately nothing's the same She at me why I always give up, I got nothing to say Look, you are not my religion, bitch I know we get intimate but you could get x'ed out I can get ignorant, my heart got barricades And you are lookin militant, well I am apparently blazed You stand there like Mona Lisa, frozen with your straight face on How do I reach her? To be honest our conversations are quite rude And lately I just say I like you Cause I don't know what love is You can show me, maybe you can show me I don't know what love is Maybe you can show me, maybe you can show me I don't know what love is You can show me, maybe you can show me I don't know what love is You can show me, maybe you can show me I've been asleep for too long, peaceful, strong Deceitful, is it wrong? I'm not the most compassionate lover I am grown but I'm a child at heart This bitch don't ever leave me alone She get wildin and start yelling 'bout my timing Like I got the worst fucking timing It's a curse to be as distant as I When I say the things that will make her, cease her smiling I used to be the kindest, my father passed away And now lately I'm being honest, I'm an asshole Is it bad, though? Nice guys never last, though White guy with a black girl, why you bringing up that for? I exit through the back door, she opened up through her text messages My heart is a black hole, lost, yeah girl, get lost This here is a lone road, the GPS is off Pissed off, why you always pissed off? Did I say something? Did we lift off? You're so far away and it's so hard to play these so called love games One thing that must change is these lies that I see right through So lately I just say I like you Cause I don't know what love is You can show me, maybe you can show me I don't know what love is Maybe you can show me, maybe you can show me I don't know what love is You can show me, maybe you can show me I don't know what love is You can show me, maybe you can show me
