Love Is

[ALEX WYSE]
But Sebastian’s eyes go dark
All he says is:

“Love is an endless surprise
I know you’re new, but try it on for size
When you stall, it’s a shame
And it piques my concern, and you will learn!

Love is full of splendor and fear
I’ve mastered both by simply being here
Through the lies and the plots
There are highs that return, and you will learn!

Take a look at you, pleading, nearly
Bleeding, for my love
And honestly, it’s truly unattractive

This needing kind of feels like
You are feeding off my love
And truth be told, the trick is counteractive

Succeeding in love
It has to burn

Love is what you’re learning to do
So I say take the world, or the world will try to take you
Look, you don’t know how it works, fine
I don’t mean any malice
I’ve known the scars you carried since you stepped into my palace

Also

You should call your landlord just to shorten up your lease
It’s time that you move in with me, our rents will both decrease
I changed my flight tomorrow, so about your dinner plan
You shouldn’t go, or at the least, you’re taking me, your man

I’m dreaming of our wedding, there’s a chapel in Belize
And not to jump ahead too much but I like peonies
Your job that starts on Tuesday? I say change is in effect
You work too much, so turn it down, it’s fine with me I checked”

“I’m sorry, I’m so, so sorry,” I cry
But Sebastian says:

“Loving you, my love, is an ocean of grief
And this is why your relationships are brief”
