a real relationship?
there are far and few
we remain, we maintain
together we are alone

if there's a spark
we want to capture
we want to contain
and save for later
we want control
we want security
we want guarantee
what happens to love?

not what i imagined
our plan together
it's not a garden
it's a strip of concrete
to throw on top of life
to build a future
which becomes a tomb
something to be proud of

let's write the eulogy
in memory of love
and make it perfect
we'll take our time
but finish later
we're all too busy

this is love
on planet earth

I like your analytical definition of love, Sinner... like it's
the feeling or action of last resort
that most relationships don't revolve or evolve around it
because love can't feed us or pay the bills
so we do what we have too to survive within a personal relationship
that could be held together more by a sense of duty, financial benefit
or simply as a result of the insecurity over being alone...

And the way you describe a "real" relationship... as being few and far
between because of the absence of pure devotion really sux, but it can
be so true for some people... life is what it is...

"our plan together
it's not a garden
it's a strip of concrete
to throw on top of life
to build a future
which becomes a tomb
something to be proud of"

But I really like the hyperbole reflected in the above description…
plans being a strip of concrete thrown on top of life to build our
tombs we can be proud of.. Wow! Deep… the imagery… cool…
