Love isn’t 9 to 5

Love isn’t 9 to 5
Love isn’t 10 to 7
Love doesn’t want
But people so want it
Love is always there
an invisible force unafraid to be shown
Love isn’t sporadic
But love can be hard to show
Pain gets in the way
Other priorities
With certain paths
non-consequential ends
Ends without beauty
A dandelion to the wind

Love is delicate
Love will leave seeds
You’ll be glad you let grow
But love isn’t 9 to 5
Love isn’t in the screen
Love was right there
Quivering tiptoes toward you
Sat for a while,
Then ran back away
While life kept you blocked
With 9 to 5s, no thoughts of me
Love for us
wasn’t meant to be
