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…
