LOVE IS INCONVENIENT!!!

(Allow me to make a bold statement here...)

LOVE IS INCONVENIENT!!!

If it was up to me,

See,

I would have let go,

A long time ago.

Because never before,

Have I experienced anything so...

Out of my way,

So... inconvenient,

So... exhausting,

With the longing,

And the patience,

When defiance,

Would be a much better approach,

A better way to handle,

The tears,

And the pain.

I’d rather claim,

Irreconcilable emotional differences,

And Usain Bolt,

Straight out the door,

And ignore all;

Than to continue,

On this path‐

With its fears,

And nothing to hold onto,

But a dream...

And a promise...

And a fond memory,

Of what the grand picture is meant to be.

A beautiful blue sky,

Was the theme;

A cloudy moonless night,

Is what we were dealt.

And even as I fight not to let this,

Overwhelm my senses,

I have often thought this “LOVE” thing senseless,

And gross in its entirety!

That’s why I thank God,

That the salvation of humanity,

Rested on another,

And not me.

For love is inconvenient,

And must be unconditional,

Or it isn’t love at all.
