What is love?
Is it that feeling in your
stomach..?
Or is it that lust below your
waist..?
Is it that firefly that goes up the
rack..?
Or is it that tug you get, when you
see a damsel so chaste..?
What is love..?
Is it that burning desire to
acquire..?
Or is it that pain you get when
you face denial..?
Is it that urge to uncover their
past..?
Or that surge you feel, to hug him
fast..?
What is love..?
Is it likeness to the core..?
Or getting filled but still wanting
more..?
Is it that tendency to wish for
expectancy..?
Or is it the sweetness of their
decency..?
What is love..?
Is it meant to sweeten or hurt…?
Is it supposed to be a mansion or
a hut..?
Is it supposed to make you
bleed, when her actions cut..?
Is it a mass of grass that grows
with just a dot..?
What is love..?
Is it an attitude..?
You distinguish in her, from a
multitude..?
Is it a beautiful latitude..?
Is it scornful, is it rude..?
What is love..?
