Love is not selfish
Love is not selfish darling
Love is a gift
A Gift that gives.
Love is not selfish
Imprisoned pain is selfish
It wants to protect you
So badly So desperately
That it’s death grip hold
Clenches loves life out.
I’m not saying
It doesn’t hurt
I’m not saying
It isn’t fair
But I’m telling you
I’m reminding you
Love is greater than pain.
Hold onto what will
Move you forward
Not onto that which
Holds you stuck
Hold onto love my darling.
Love is not selfish
You should know that by now.
Love is not selfish
Darling it wants your best!
Let go a little hurt today
And give a little love.
The more you give
The more you live
Because love is
The catalyst not pain.
Pain is your friend to guide you
But can also be the enemy
To blind you
Let pain show you this
Love is not selfish
Bitter pain is.
Take your pain
Get creative
Take your pain
And write a new anthem
Don’t repeat history
Do something new!
Rewrite the lines of beauty
Not the fame, skin or wealth
Rewrite beauty true as she is
Love is not selfish.
Loves lives and gives
Love is the author to transform
All those blood drops of pain
Into crystal diamonds of love.
Love is not selfish darling.
Release your pain
Wear your diamonds
Crystals of beauty,
Love.
Always hope. Always believe. Always love. 💕
