It's Not Love But It Will Suffice

It's Not Love But It Will Suffice

She says, “It’s not love, but it will suffice,
Happiness must be had for what it’s worth;
Let us embrace romance sealed with a kiss
And enjoy the time we have on this earth.”

I live this sensation called soul-searching,
When inspiration is torn from the heart;
Desperation creeps in mercilessly
And escape to her arms is the answer.

I long for comfort as she calms the din
And rejuvenates my exhausted brain;
Re-energized, I alight from within
And attempt to climb that mountain again.

I can’t complain in this our love affair;
Our needs are met by using each other.
