Real Love

   What we had was real
The shit between my legs
   was just as real as 
my soul
and my mind
and just as real as
   the feelings I felt 
   and the ones I shared.
And they were all just as stupid.

My love for you is just as real
   as the heart that you hold
in the palm of your hand.

   The one I gave to you,
   the one that only beats for you,
   the one that I used to call
     my own...

The heart that, once again, 
will slowly have to learn
   how to beat on its own.
