My Grate

Love Lost Spoken Word piece

All my loves leave

Without a kiss or goodbye

Set focused on their own things

Leaving me struck, dumb wondering why

All my clovers die

And fade away lifeless

There's no luck in love, it's a lie

And I remain still, the catcher in the rye

I’ll stay to myself, humble and glowing

No need to get too close, no need to know me

All my records break

I’ll get stuck on your every word, big mistake

It’s exactly the same love song playing

But I always seem to get it wrong

All my loves leave

Girls just wanna trick and boys thieve

Always had a thing for someone in need

Girls always gravitate to the n***a with the weed

And I think I may have outgrown the ability to make believe

We play pretend with love all the time

Thought it would get better with age like wine

But no, you all just leave me with that bitter taste

And now I realise after how you were merely a waste, love

All my lovers go

Far and away like the birds migrate for the snow

Don’t get too hype, they’ll leave 'yanno

Not today, but you know what they say about tomorrow

I do believe in the reciprocal nature of love.
Therefore, we must put in the work that is required from both partners in love.
Patience, forgiveness, effort, time, understanding, compromise, faithfulness, playfulness, camaraderie...
all these virtues are the various parts that add up, lovingly blending to make love the sweetest experience.

So, as Michael Jackson insinuates in 'Man in the mirror', we must ask ourselves, concerning relationships:
What can I do to make things work out? Do I expect too much from others? Have I got flaws? What are my true intentions in this relationship? Am I being selfish? Do I appreciate the good in others? Do I make the effort required to make a relationship work? Am I quick to judge my partner and constantly looking for flaws? Do I only focus on my own satisfaction, thinking that the world revolves only around me?

After this self-evaluation, there is a chance that we might realise that we too can make that difference.
However, if anybody takes our love for granted, despite our good intentions and effort in reciprocity, then we have the absolute right to move on with our lives, for remaining in a toxic atmosphere of a relationship does not help anybody.

WELL DONE
