Love vs. Exploitation

September 21, 2017

The stars in the sky

they do not compare

for the stars in their eyes

create a much brighter flare

 

You’ll feel like they hung

the moon and the stars

looking up everywhere you go

no matter how far

 

There have always been butterflies

no, make that a zoo

because they constantly show

the reasons they love you

 

From flowers to calls

and catching your fall

they will never let you

seem like you are nothing at all

 

There’s laughs and there’s tears

especially when they’re not near

“because I love you”

are words you constantly hear

 

These words are associated

with true love and true actions

if down more than happy

you need to cause a reaction

 

Love is real, love is raw

but some people get it all wrong

“because I love you”

should sound like a song.

 

It’s not an excuse

it’s not an explanation

for there is a fine line between

love and exploitation
