Writing of love as thoughts stream by
Crying to capture before they dry
The message quickly tries to fly
Elusive as a butterfly
Other life’s thoughts trying to invade
Since they seen my hope, they felt betrayed
Leaving them fall, cornered and decayed
Even puzzles has pieces made
Now hours bleed into longer days
I’m having second thoughts, now dazed
Getting involved left me sideways
It wasn’t love, she wanted a raise
