The Cost Of Love A Poem


I can't afford love.
It is just too gosh
Darn expensive.
The cost too high
When it goes awry.
The repair bill
To my heart massive.

But what should I do instead
Live like a poor wretch
Destitute of love
Bereft of it's benefits?
The endorphins!
The nurturing
The comfort
The excitement
The anticipation
Of interactions.
The whole of it's dimensions.

When it implodes
Like a building
During demolition
How does one recover?
How does one start again?
How does one<b> erect </font></b>a new edifice?
Brick by brick
Or prefab cement poured
With steel beams
To make it strong?

It could be the most beautiful
Thing you had ever seen
But if it is damaged
If it is no longer useful
It's purpose obsolete.
Demolition is it's fate.

Can I afford to be
The builder
And the wrecking crew?
Ready with the tools
Of each phase?
What a construction company
I would need!
But it would only be me.
And I have to face it
I can overextend
Over spend my budget
Not knowing where more funds
Will come from.
I am not made of money .
But I am made of feelings
And emotions
Muscles, blood and bones
Organs that connect everything.
My heart included.
The builder in me
Will use all of this
And with my bare hands
With my bare soul
A love will be erected
Or torn down.
I have to accept the cost.
As being a human in love.

If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from

If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of

And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love

No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

I've been running like you
I've been running like you
Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scared

I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No, I haven't been getting anywhere

And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love

No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

Hey girl, you've got to take this moment
Then let it slip away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there's no price to pay

We've been running from love
We've been running from love
And we don't know what we're doing here
No, we don't know what we're doing here

We're only here
Sharing our free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love

No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

Wow i love this. Love can be torn apart and its the inevitable truth that you have laid bare amongst us. But sometimes love comes out of nowhere when we least expect it

Are you a book writer by any chance. I looked at a few of your poems and im in love

China is creating the first artificial moon

Thank you so much for reading and commenting. I am so appreciative that you think so highly of this poem and my writing. I do have some books. Not novels just volumes of poetry. But one is kind of a book..it is all about one subject I know too freaking well...Infatuation and rejection. LOL
