You want pieces of me

I want parts of you

It feels like complacency

The dreams we construe

Yes to your fine body

Yes to my cash money

No to my favorite hobby

No to your broken family

Eating up the best

Pushing away the rest

Never content being sober

Always leaving the leftovers

I will call you love…

When I trust your heart

When you raise the best in me

When I set you apart

When I join your destiny

You will call me love…

When there is grace in my kindness

When I communicate my feelings

When you see your child in my likeness

When there is meek teamwork in our dealings

When there is a fight and no one else will do

When I search and find no one else above

When in spite of it all I always choose you

Then, I will call you love…
