If love was…

if love was only a word, I would erase it from the dictionary and abolish it from the world

simply deny any pepetrator freedom of speech, so the captive hearts can be left to be free

if love was only a word, I would tape the mouths of those who claim its name so we could all see this feeling we label great is lame

if love was only a word, I would cross it off the gust list and refuse entry

open the doors to the refugees who lost their homes fighting for their souls

if love was only a word, it would not exist, I would simply deny any acknowledgement of it

but since love isn’t just a word, I am forced to embrace it

as my obligations of being cupid’s enemy would not be mandatory

if love did not exist.
