I FEEL love! Right down to my core.
Love causes my body to shake and tremble.
I'm not quick. I'm not nimble.
Love smacks my face! Head bounces on the floor.
I can't dodge the swings. I scream, "Stop! No more!"
Love takes aim, yells God's name in vane
and with a swift swing of the wrist...oh shit! I can't SEE.
And they got the fuckin' nerve to say, "You should leave."
I say, "I can't!"
They ask, "Why!?"
And I reply, "I'm in love."
So I,
go back and let love darken my other eye.
Fresh mornin' brew.
Hey love, "How many lumps for u?"
(POW!) 1. (BANG!) 2.
Love is in the air.
Wherever u are, I wanna be there.
I'm lost! Without u, what would I do!?"
Love rears its' hand again and plunges with maximum force.
The pain is too much to bare, can't inhale, lost all sense...of SMELL.
I'm a beast! In the kitchen.
Love stays fed,
3 squares and anything in between...including late night smacks.
I don't recall the satisfaction of my own cookin'.
Delicious, multiple flavas exploding on my tongue.
I forgot what that feels like since love slapped the TASTE out my mouth.
At 1 time, I heard everything clear as a bell.
Then Love had to repeat itself and sometimes yell.
Now, now I can't HEAR anything at all,
cause repeatedly, Love beat my eardrum and slammed me into the wall.
Love kicked and tripped me, but I refuse to fall!
I've touched, seen, smelt even tasted Love.
I've had enough!
Last time, I told Love, prayed to Jesus and God, "Never Again!"
Apparently they didn't get the message or they thought I was jokin'.
I pulled a Nine from behind my back (click-clack).
"Listen to me, Love. Now that I have ur attention. I have 1 thing to say before I send u on ur way.
And I need u to believe me, just as I believed u.
I...
I love u, too (BANG! BANG!)
