An Ode To Love

Love is patient, love is kind

Love will make you lose your mind.

You must not bicker, or complain

If you wish love to remain.

Just bite your lip, and hold your tongue

And you will keep your lover young.

It’s a woman’s job to bear the pain

To create sunshine, when there’s rain.

We must always put our dreams aside

They disappear, as the ebbing tide.

For “it takes two” to make love work

Even if he’s a fucking jerk.

I believe, it takes only one

To be the glue when things come undone.

To remember how it was back then

And forgive and forget again, and again.

Happy Anniversary, they will say

Unaware of the price she paid.

To keep the peace, while losing her mind

‘Cause love is patient, love is kind.
