JUST ONE

Sometimes you do something

And you can't take it back

Sometimes life's such a way

That you're caught in the cracks

Sometimes hurt gets you

Then you act like a fool

Sometimes it's contagious

Then there's no golden rule

Sometimes love's pointless

Doesn't change anything

Sometimes love's forced

And buys fancy rings

Sometimes it's so painful

You think you will die

Sometimes it betrays you

And leaves you with "Why?"

Sometimes it's convenient

Helps you pay your damn rent

Sometimes it divides

Even when heaven sent

Sometimes your love

Runs off with a neighbor

Sometimes your love

Is in love with their Savior

Sometimes your love

Wants to populate a planet

Sometimes your love

Is a solid phantasm

Sometimes your love

Prefers the company of drugs

Sometimes your love

Prefers gangsters and thugs

Sometimes your love

Is too broken, alone

Sometimes your love

Never leaves their damn home

Sometimes your love

Doesn't know who you are

Sometimes your love

Prefers diamonds and cars

Sometimes it has too many

Convenient people and things

Too many obsessions

To notice you sing

To notice your poems

Or your moments of purity

Or to notice your love

Is they're only security

Sometimes it won't answer

Sometimes it just lies

Sometimes you're just one

Of their forty-two guys

Sometimes it's haphazard

You can't do it alone

Love takes two to tango

- Without reciprocation -

There's nowhere to go

Sometimes they just justify

Leave your world in a panic

Disregard your resolve

Your intentions, Your magic

Too busy self-serving

Too busy to bother

No regard for your truth

And all that you offer

Despite all the pain

And how it burns

- Like the sun

When love finally finds you

It comes down to

Just one
