Rosa Saba Reads

a love that didn't love back

a love that tried to love back
(hard)
but failed, stepped on by experience
dragged away by abandoned words
taking their revenge
(softly, slowly)
a love that began like the crash of drums
into a song that went on
with a bridge spanning miles
and a chorus just bright enough
to make me believe
(hard)
this love could love us back, and stay
past the end of the show, through the slow shuffle
of a drunken crowd
and i'd take your hand
(naturally)
and lead you home
(steadily)
and show you my mind
(carefully)
but this love recoiled
(fearfully)
and did not love again
