BUT IF THIS IS LOVE
Tell me
If I should let every broken tear flow
Into an ocean
Would your heart beat for me
Tell me
If I should tattoo your name boldly inside me
With every bloodshed
Would your heart melt this time
Tell me
If my heart should bleed
In every dark cloud for your response
Would you care
But you know I longed for you
In the midst of dark clouds and wild creatures
Yes I weeped until I could grip my eyeballs
With my palm
You said I should let this feelings mature
I waited
You said you were gonna love me someday
I accepted
But I seem like a trash to you
You only gave me one language
TOLERANCE
You said I should stick to that
You said am being insecured
But you didn’t make me feel secured
Yes I complained
But u showed me attitude
I smiled but the smiles were hurtful
I only found myself in a pit of sadness
Left alone with a consoling tear
But I haven’t done anything wrong
I just wished to be loved
But if this is love
I’d rather hide under the garment of a nun
And let my beauty be digged underground
Cause this isn’t love but punishment
I have only dreamed of a selfless storm
That would bring two yearning hearts
Together
I refuse to be tolerated
Because I am a lover
I am unique
And I deserve to be loved appropriately
