Love Isn’t by Quinn Fensterwald

Love isn’t meant for excuses or lies,
No chances or sorries can ever change my mind.

The pain that inflicted my unsuspecting heart
Came back to me and it’s tearing me apart.

Love isn’t some petty escape from a problem,
It’s something that brings us together, solemn.

How much time will pass until your game is done?
You realize you’re doing what you’ve done all along.

You wait and you wait until you’ve had your fun,
When will it finally be enough?

You said you were sorry, and did it out of love,
But love isn’t worth the pain and stress thereof.

You thought no one loved you, is that what you think?
I loved you, I did, but even that’s gone extinct.

So I ask you once more, what does love mean to you?
Is it worth all the trouble? Put yourself in my shoes.

Love isn’t just another word that we say.
Take a second and think, maybe try to change.
