Measured, How About How Love Really Is

"How is love being measured?" That, I should tell you
Naivety and ignorance is the best-est thing you can do
For crooks and chouses plan to extort
So you perceive pain and suffering as their last resort

Do they kiss and tell their feelings bade?
Or do they bound their affections and let it wane?
Do they think of you and their hearts to you portrayed?
Or do they think of you as an irritating lass with emotional bane?

Time has nothing to do with petty things
Never gave freedom, never gave wings
In the most delusional sense, they cage your soul
Starves you of attention, then cuts you down whole

Love is never measured by distance
For it goes on and leaves you, all throughout resistant
I don't know what Love is, nor I am aware of it to be
So pray to God, pray to Him for people like me.
