Love Less Day
I can count on my shortcomings
To speak louder
than anyone in the room
I can see all the idle minds
Shift as a fabrication
Starts to manifest into
A sudden form of new
This one day is less about love
And more about the materialism
And the production of how we sell
Energy that shouldn’t have a price
I shouldn’t have to get worked up
Every time this fourteen date rolls around
Because it should be already addressed
If I love you
Then you wouldn’t have to guess
It’ll be in my smile
I would feel that shit from my head
To my crippling toes
Because even they know
They can’t resist the heat
I think V day sets them up for defeat
With high expectations and ratifications
No one claims to stand by their own two feet
We have to have someone
Maybe out of desperation
Or pure loneliness
We close up our harden flaws
And hope by some miracle
We are picked to be chosen
What if
A day of love cease to exist ?
Would your heart love less then?
Would it be abandoned by
The wear and tear you
Refuse to accept
Will the isolation be too much
It starts stealing your breath ?
Or could you actually
Appreciate the more given time
Love can take to make
each moment feel like a dime
Maybe then
it’ll feel less like a crime
Why are we so hell bent on
Not loving ourselves alone?
We are so scared to end up alone
But the kicker part is when we truly
Get to that point
We actually pull in
the best possible path
for us to grow
And if Love is the promise
Then our future is the ring
That will be purposed
It’ll be the most biggest surprise
It’ll knock you off your balance
Until you get hooked on the ride
Love is the biggest roller coaster
Of our mundane lives
And we close our eyes
To ignore the flutters
And forget about the 250 feet drop
That will make us scream out
Before our very eyes
If I knew then
What I know now
I would have let go a long time ago
And stop controlling Love
Because it never panned out
My flaws would’ve been the biggest scene
And I would have played out my scars
Just to tug on my heart strings
Just to have proof that it still beats
Maybe not for someone yet
But at least
Just for me
