You Can't

 

 

You can't be in love!

You're always supposed to want it

Supposed to hate it

Desperately crave it

Need it, desire it

But never attain this 'love'

An artists work is never about being in love

It's about the world

Just outside of having love

It's about

the suffering in wanting

the pain in needing

the happiness in finding

But never love itself

You can't be in love!

An artists work is never about being in love
