This Is Not Love

This Is Not Love

A Poem by Desert Knave
"

Written last night

"
Too many times
That cheek's been turned
That cheek has burned
My lesson's learned
This is not love

Too many times
That jab's been thrown
That jab has shown
What I've long known
This is not love

Too many times
That cheek's been turned
Too many times
That cheek has burned
