Speaking Of Love

What is this love you speak of

either we share a different definition

or I'm not paying attention

I mean listen 

while it's an honor to mention
the one you love
treating them like honorable mention
wouldn't be the wisest decision 
unless that's the love you envision

that's probably not the love they had in mind
so I'm sure they mind how you treat them
it's such a shame
hearing you call them out their name
claiming they're to blame 
when really you're to blame
blaming them is really lame by the way
what happened to you
remember the poems each day
the encouraging words you would say
now every word is a curse
and your poems are even worse
so what is this love you speak of 
speak up
before you lose the one you love
