Governance of Love

You’ve jumped on board and taken flight
Cross your T’s and dot your I’s
Anything to be alright
It doesn’t matter if they lie

Because you cannot be alone
Your soul is not a home
That is why you roam
Towards people who are cold
You think you’ll never know
A love to call your own
You’re lodging yourself in these
Empty catacombs

You wonder why they take your smile
And they never make it worth your while
Once you stop giving them power
You nurture your own sea of flowers

And when the seed of self love blooms
You won’t be inclined to choose
A lover you’ve made space for
When they have no space for you
And you’ll rise from the fire
That shell of a girl left behind
Your heads a little higher
And the culprit is time

Let it go
Relinquish your hold
And when you’re standing all alone
I hope that you can see that you are home
