Watch out!
Love's here!
Dressed to kill in her suit
Of a million promises, and
Her facemask of opulent wonder
Can she be trusted this time?
Well, remember how it felt when you
First strummed her guitar?
Yes, I remember that it hurt a little,
But the music was sweet.
Hey! If you want sweet, buy some chocolate...
We are talking about love here!
Don't let her paint you into a corner.
Oops, too late.
Got cha!
What can I do?
Well, just kiss your heart goodbye!
Take this pad to keep notes.
Keep notes, what for?
For the million promises and
The dreams shot to hell,
And to list the miseries she'll inflict
With kisses that will betray.
Oh, and to count the times she will
Try to pull away.
And be sure to list the times you'll suspect
Love doesn't care at alll.
Why are you so cynical about love?
She stole from me!
What did she steal?
My heart and rhyme!
Dorothy (Alves) Holmes
