"Love and Time"
~ Lesley M. Blair
There are times when
I'm alone in the dark.
Asking myself
Has my heart missed its mark.
For i have genuinely tried
Almost died when denied.
Betrayed and defied
By those in whom I'd once confide.
Hearts revealed
So cold that I'd shiver
Scars I've earned
From crying a river.
Love gets you into things
That only time can get you out of.
Love gets you into things
That only time can get you out of.
Everybody wants to be loved
Is just one school of thought.
Until you actually love
You learn things that you were never taught.
A school that has taught
To lie is the standard.
Just stab them in the hearts
Let them worry about the bandage.
A school that teaches you
To slap every cheek.
No matter how many they turn
Forgiveness pushed beyond its peak.
A school that teaches you
To use the past as a shield.
What a treacherous tongue
These students do wield.
Love gets you into things
That only time can get you out of.
Love gets you into things
That only time can get you out of.
Now the school that
you came from from.
Apparently is not the
Same one.
For you truth is truth
And a lie is a lie.
You look accountability
Straight in the eye.
You were taught to treat everybody
The way you want to be treated.
Understanding the power of love
Can never be defeated.
So you love as hard as you can
Wishing the very best for them.
Not discouraged by faults you see
But blinded by the love of just what can be.
Love gets you into things
That only time can get you out of.
Love gets you into things
That only time can get you out of.
Love gets you into things
That only time can get you out of.
Love gets you into things
That only time can get you out of.
