There is No Title for Love


There is no title for love

And whoever said my love is tainted and sinful 

Fuck you 

Because I have laid myself bare 

When my love is so clearly there 

My passion that burns bright

That was given to me as a birthright

And honestly it is a lot better than your eyesight

 

All day and all night 

No restful mourn or travesty burns 

That lets me mellow or lets me “turn”

There is no bright light that I should follow 

Only the voice in my head telling me I shouldn’t swallow 

The shit people say 

Because this isn’t a phase 

It isn’t even a surprising thought

At least little 8 year old me will finally be taught 

That it's okay to have these feelings 

And to never stop dreaming 

Because who the fuck are you to tell me that my love is tainted
