Love Love Exchange - poem

The cute bell on the door mercilessly sings
Helpless eyes, praiseless ears start to ring
Send your pity disguised as sympathy
Work for love in suffocating dread blissfully

Finger the merchandise, act real coy
So the fake face will wear a smile of joy

The heart can only take so much sorrow
A loan for tasks that you may borrow
The obsessive pinkness oozing is sickening
Call this “love,” uncared for twitches quickening
Thumping mishaps in the chest are pulsating
Overwhelming pressure, tears coagulating

The burden, the tension, horrid to sustain
Please give love as payment for the pain


Small note:
“Love Love Exchange:” work(love) for love - different ways of showing love/love language (acts of service)
