I didn’t know how to
Receive her love at the time
Because it wasn’t the love that I
Wanted
She didn’t know how to love me
Even my mother said
“He’s impossible to comfort.”
It’s too bad she came at a time
When I wasn’t prepared
I didn’t have everything in place
The way I do now
I can see hearts everywhere
In traffic lights and taillights
They’re all blurry because
My dog just died
I’m thinking of his love
Unconditional
That’s how it goes
When you truly love something
I’m doing everything just right
Waiting for the knife
A sacrifice for waking up
And organizing life
I reach up into the sky
And kiss your lion nose
You loved me
All the way
