Love is a scam
In it I've lost the sense of who I am
Or what to stand for
Or what I'm worth
Your self esteem is a punchline
And the whole damn thing is a joke
Love is a lie
In it I found so many cries
From pitiful souls
All begging for
mercy
And i found that self doubt is a monster
That crawls besides you unseen
Love can be cruel
It eats away what you thought true
Or the things you held dear
Or considered wholesome
And it tears you down bare
From one day to another you can be undone
Love is not magic
And though I know it sounds very tragic
It will teach you
And it will hurt like hell
Like you're constantly on fire
But you're the only one that can tell
Love is expensive
It can often even be neglected
It is not simple
And it is not free
You say "that's not what love is"
But that's exactly what love was for me.
