Love

by Stephanie Ambrose


All my life I have dreamed of a love that I have never known.
A love that is kind, a love that is all mine.

I wondered and pondered about it so much 
I dreamed of loves perfect touch.

I imagined a love that would be endless.
A love that would sustain for all time 
A love that was completely, & undoubtedly mine.
I Imagined a love that was so real, A love that I could feel.

I wanted a perfect match, a perfect catch. 

Where can love Be?

Where will he turn up? In church? in a club? at work? in the mall?

I thought I almost found him but then he ain’t call.

I don’t want to settle for second best 

I want a love I deserve. 

I want to be appreciated…for cooking , cleaning, working & 
Taking care of the kids…shoot giving birth to my kids.

So many sacrifices in vain….too much pain to bear 
I can’t even believe you never even cared.
Kicked me out when I was pregnant I was rendered homeless
>From the suburbs to the gutter every time I think of it I shudder. 

Dam’n you Dam’n you dam’n you. 
Why did I cast my pearls among swine now I am bitter
And cold 

I just want a love I can hold. 

When I find him I know my heart will stand still.
When I see him smile I know that it will.

I don’t want love to hurt like so many say it does 

I have tried love, had love and eventually lost love.

What is love anyway? 

Is it a feeling, or emotion, I know it stirs up enough commotion.

I don’t want a love of convieance or a love of circumstance

I want a compatible love. 

Sent from above

I don’t want to pretend anymore,

I am ready to walk out the door 

I want something real, 

something I can feel.
