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.
