A Poem by Ben

Love,
What can I say about love
Relationships, sure I can go on and on speaking of
But love, I try to live love, want to

If, if
Every if was an ultimatum
The thing that kept you from being love,
From being life

If anything was to be worked on,
In the matter of being stuck in our ways
I could see love as being at the heart of the matter

Love, an older person would
Never want to be loved for somebody their not
A young person
Always will

If they would..
If they understood x
I don't care, not I don't care, no
It doesn't matter
Is a much better turn of phrase

It doesn't matter
Where is the efficiency that occurs
When you loose out
For what you were selfishly seeking to maximize
Playing master

That's why they say that taking care of
Your own soul is a big enough job
Or worthy enough task

It could be inobvious, inside out
Could be that I knew
Taking the shortest distance
Before someone said the thing about the two points

But I think it would be worth being found
An abstract version of that, removing language to distill
And alchemize pure mind

Anyway back to love
If there is something about that in here
We all have our different way to love
But that suggests we all have our different ways to miss out on love

All the if theys, they might really be hella in the way
They might really be vines your clinging to
Ripping away
The if theys, they might be the if ids, indeed the if I'd sees.
