Love, the word used to describe you,
Confused, the insight of what we went through,
I can't remember the first time you entered my sight,
Or the reason why a hug from you can cause fright,
The removal of clothes, a matter of time,
My perception of crime, a complex rhyme,
Love, a term used since the start,
Confused, why we hug will tare us apart,
I can't remember being naked and feeling shame,
Or the reason why I hug the burning flame,
The removal of innocence, love or lust,
My perception of crime, covered in dust,
Love, you show with words spoken,
Confused, that only occurs when my bedroom door is open,
I can't remember when you first closed the door,
Only that my birthday cake had swaying candles, a total of four,
The removal of my mother, regret or appreciate?
As there was more time for love, for hate,
Love, the word used to describe you,
Confused, the police state; rape I went through.
