It Wasn't Love

      - IT WASN’T LOVE -


He begged her
  Not to leave.
    But she had her reasons.
He knew she’d hurt him
   If she stayed.
    Call it continued treason.
It wasn’t love -
  That brought her to him.
It wasn’t love -
  He couldn’t keep her.
He couldn’t hold on -
  When she’d never felt
     Loved in her soul.

And now he's
  Sitting here.
    Alone with his feelings.
He finds he’s not
  Satisfied.
    Now that he’s finally healing.
It wasn’t love -
  That brought her to him.
It wasn’t love -
  He couldn’t keep her.
He couldn’t hold on -
  When she’d never felt
     Loved in her soul.

Each night that
  He’s hunting.
    For skirt wearing teasers.
He’s always successful
   When he tries.
    For one night of pleasure.
It wasn’t love -
  That brought her to him.
It wasn’t love -
  That’ll make her go.
It isn’t love -
  That he is seeking.
He can’t hold on -
  When love is simply
     Not in his soul.
