Love all the same


The world turns its back But the stars still shine When did we start hating All of man kind Wrong kind of skin Wrong kind of mind Wrong kind of love But a love that is mine You say youre okay You say you don’t hate You say that, They all say that But inside they all Discriminate But they don’t know About the touch of smooth skin They don’t know How the hearts beat within The speeding of a pulse The rush of the blood To the brain Your love, their love, my love Is love all the same. But when the world turns It’s back On them, on us, on me I can lay my head against Against their chest And breathe Breathe Breathe And listen to their heart Beat Beat Beat And feel the comfort of the Heat Between the sheets While the world says I’m not okay I turn my head To the cheaters Non believers Abusers Users And bummed out losers And I take comfort In the soft skin And arms Of something that’s Soft Sound Real And safe Your hate is worth their love To look in those eyes Lose meaning of time Know that their mine You can think Hate and say what you need to say But the feeling I have Tells me My love conquers all Your hate is a small road block in the way I’ll rest my head tonight And ill be safe And all will be right So while mine goes off while I sleep Turn yours on, and see what I see
