To Love [Poem]

Matthew 22:36-40

to love is to truly love blindly

if you do me wrong, I gotta love you more

even though I cannot see what’s right behind me

or not quite sure

how I would maneuver moving forward

to really love somebody, it is humbling

selflessly, not selfish, in fact

you really make yourself super vulnerable

without knowing

if you’ll get that same Love back

that Love thang,

be more than just a feeling,

it’s fun & all, but definitely ain’t a game

‘cause if you do me wrong

or exude hate

do I Love myself

if I choose not to treat you back the same?

forgive?

man that’s word is so absurd

me?

I rather take some action like a verb

but in return

would I have to relearn

or concern myself with

who will still avenge me

of my hurt?

see love, it’s a

challenge in itself,

‘cause your feelings, they’re definitely justifiable

to Love God w/your heart

& all your mind

might take some time

‘cause how can One I’ve never seen

be so reliable?

this love they say He has

is undeniable,

He understands the cards that we were dealt

If somebody offends me,

surely someone must [held] be liable

for the legitimate

feelings that I felt

when I said "love you more" in the first stanza,

I didn’t mean for you to be a dummy,

but if I love myself

I gotta love you with the strength

to

put some limits

on the access [that] you have to me

Love you too.
