my love is like america...

my love is like america
the land of the free, home of the brave
my heart is star spangled
and bombs are bursting in the air

my love is like a train
looking for the end of the tunnel
my heart is strangers side by side
looking for direction

my love is like a mother
it will stroke your orphan head
my heart would give its all
to shield you from the worldly pain

my love is like a tattoo
a painful but beautiful brand
my heart will announce to the world
what i believe and what i am

my love is like narcotics
keeps you coming back for more
my heart will bring euphoria
don't you dare leave me alone

my love is like serotonin
from chocolate, exercise, sex
my heart may need attention
but the results are happy places

my love is like a riptide
opposing the other tides
my heart can bring disaster
in a wink, if you're not careful

my love is like the bonsai
needs careful painful pruning
my heart will yield serenity
and beauty if you work

my love is like a song
filled with seeds of emotion
my heart will free your mind
just give it a chance to finish

my love is like poetry
uncensored, uncalled for, unheard
my heart will rhyme and flow
and bring a smile to your lips

my love is like the ocean
beautiful, but can be angry
my heart will keep you floating
in the midst of peacefulness

my love is like a bite
painful, but erotic
my heart can heal the wounds
you know you want to feel
