Oh To Love

Oh to love and be loved again
And be loved and love once more
Not the love of friend to friend
But love from core to core

In love’s wicked evil plans
Its' lovely wisdom shows
That love cares not for any man
Giving some love’s overdose

Love, like time has been around
From before love was a word
Love can take us up and down
Oh love, you're quite absurd

Oh to love and be loved just once!
The unloved’s wretched cry
But love, like a jutting sconce
Doth poke the unloved’s eye

Love will not locate us all
No, love sometimes won’t show
The difference between love and lust
The unloved never know

The once-loved’s shrill and bitter cry
Echoes love’s curses through the night
For love, like men, sometimes dies
Love can go without a fight

When you find love, oh reader dear
Let love say what to do
Of the unloved’s barbs, take zero care
You love me, and I love you
