WHAT IS LOVE

JaQuiondia Banks 1990 (MILWAUKEE, WI)

What is Love?
Do not tell me you love me, when it comes with lies
Love should not hurt; it does not purposely make you cry
Love should inspire and uplift
It should not shift nor drift
Love is genuine and pure
Love should not make me feel insecure
Love should have mutual feelings
I should not second guess your true feelings
Love should be unconditional
Does not mean the pain should be intentional
You should say what you mean and mean what you say
Love should not go the opposite way
Now and days, love is taken for granted
It is one sided and I cannot stand it
Do not tell me you love me, when it comes with lies
Love should not hurt; it does not purposely make you cry
