Love's Shelf
Don't come here expecting,
love to always bloom.
Plant yourself in the moment,
and love may flower soon.
Don't look for some sign,
like a twinkle in the eye.
Love often appears,
when you don't even try.
Don't tell me what love is,
for I already know.
Love's about leaving
and always letting go...
So heed these words I give you,
as love can come at a price.
Love they say is freeing,
yet it cuts with every slice.
Though you feel its heat now,
love's frost soon will plunge.
Passion often burns deep,
before its freeze takes a lunge.
So bury deep inside you,
everything that you hold dear.
Love from just a distance,
keeping not one soul too near.
And now don't you feel safe,
so good all by yourself?
Living your life idle,
while love's upon a shelf...
