Love Hard

*so, parts of this are meant to be sung ala Lauryn Hill's When It Hurts So Bad, which will be pointed out by asterisks, so you probably won't get the full feeling, but the words hit hard*

*I loved real, real hard once
And it made me want to give her everything
And I mean EVERYTHING
Things stopped making sense and started
Making sense
Music - the gateway to my soul but
Ain't no way all those R&B singers realize the power in their words
I'd shed hailstorm tears of pain
If I fell asleep dreaming of water in your eyes
Simply said *Lady I would cry for you tonight
It frightened me to the core
But I learned that not all scary things are bad
I learned that not all scary things are bad
Blatant robbery
*She stole my heart, like a thief in the night
But my senses are heightened
My nails are longer, hair is stronger
A Pluralized Princess
And it makes me want to give you my body
I mean GIVE YOU MY BODY
In a decorative clay pot
An evergreen hybrid growin' and flourishin' watered only by your devotion
A photosynthetic symbol of our connection
Please
Call me Poison Ivy
And let me find ways to sprout leaves from my fingertips
And flower buds from my taste buds
*I loved real real hard once
Too hard
I wanna give you the world
Shaped into a Princess cut pearl
Engrave your name on the oceans
Carve your smile on land
All its creatures would bow to you
And you would reign supreme
Set in 14-carat eternity
*Gave up my power, I'm existing for you
*But whoever knew, the voodoo you do
Magic shone through
Love spun like the colorful whirls of a battery-operated pen
Riding the vibrations and amazingly staring at the different hues
Reds, yellows, greens and blues
A kaleidoscope of indescribable affection
Ever-changing, evolving as we revolve around each other
Faster and faster never to come down hard
Cause see, love
Isn't supposed to be easy
It's gotta be hard
Hard enough to break ridiculous habits
Past connections and longstanding protective walls
So yes
I'm
loving
real
real
hard
The way that I'm supposed to
