which one do you love?
is it me or is it you?
must I always ask?
you make me feel loved
you talk yourself into it
but your feelings wane
becoming more clear
showing off your lies of love
keeping your secrets
so I tell my friends
of your true undying love
perpetuating

Congratulations
they all think I'm so happy
all I feel is blue
then comes the aging
I should start to reel it in
still telling your lies
those who may remain
suffer my redundancy
writing of your love
its been too long now
good old friends are far and few
time to hit the road
just one more time though
let me tell how you love me
so they will believe
perhaps I will too
I'll talk myself into it
perpetuating

One ladle serves the soup that feeds the mouths of the many.

Hey Boomer, welcome to PIP.

Complex isn't it when there's really something to hold onto? At least from your angle.

Good writing! I enjoyed it.

Eric

true love never looks after it's own interests
