John Trainor

Love is?

Nobody loves you.
They say that they love you.
Love you.
Love you.
But you can’t hear!
Goodbye! Love you! Love you!
But it don’t stick!
Cos you’re not thick
Nobody loves you!
You are broken!
That
Is
All!
What is Love?
Baby don’t hurt me, dont hurt me, no more!
Love is not pain.
If all you have is pain it’s not Love!
Move on! Move on up!
Love is a verb!
Who has been doing love for you?
Not sex!
Not feels good!
It’s Patient,
It’s Kind,
Keeps no record of wrongs,
It’s not envious,
Not rude,
Not self seeking.
It protects, can be trusted, is hopeful and therefore perseveres!
It will never fail!
If love fails.
It was not love!
Move on.
Move up!
