WHAT IS LOVE?


What's this thing you call love

Makes you mad soon enough

Swimming in it, day and night

But nothing seems to go right


Expensive gifts and insomnia

To hear them call you "Dear"

Wasted words and emotion

For much unwanted commotion


Haddaway even wrote a song

And I don't think he was wrong

But sometimes you must ask

If it's truly an impossible task


Love can easily be misconstrued

Just come to my neighborhood

You'll see and surely come to trust

That love is oft confused with lust


The stories and tales of epic romance

Putting us in a dream-like trance

And it pains me to break it to you

They're mostly fictional and not true


Set in wonderful dance and colour

Nothing could possibly ever be truer

Let the feel-good emotions dissipate

Soon, real-life will habitually irritate


So, don't fall for the epic tales

They're lies like big fat whales

Designed only to mesmerize

Stealing your abilities to analyze


If love you must, then love thyself

With good food, company and health

Don't lose yourself and get old

Forever chasing what's fool's gold
