Hard Lover

I love harder than most

Once you’re trapped in my love radar it’s hard for you to get out.

But loving hard in a lost , confused generation is only difficult for those who do just that.

Giving away love that you’ve built up from yourself , it’s a very scary thought.

You just never know how the universe will react to the spin of your love.

If a person is no good for you , it usually takes a little time before their mask they’ve shown the works begins to slip.

Who some shows to the world is who they want people to think they are.

Someone will listen to your words as they linger around getting ti know you.

Then at some point their personality takes on the challenge of being exactly what just spewed from the lips of their person of interest.

After a while you may notice the real them peer through.

Little red glad your try to ignore because I’m the start , They were exactly who you wanted them to be.

So blinded by all the roses you couldn’t even see the lack of treatment to the rest of their garden.

Now here you are three weeks later ; asking yourself “What did you get yourself into?”

Be careful who you give your love to.
