this is not a love song
ive always felt
that our
friends and family
should provide for us
a sanctuary
from the numbing
disheartening
indiscriminate blows
that life deals
and that
we should do the same for them
but maybe
its up to us
to do that for ourselves
maybe the world
really is a cruel
cold
and unfair place
and maybe
it's not possible
to build a relationship
that doesn't function
on that principle
maybe...
but i refuse to believe it
