I am not for love
I am from the island of love
Aphrodite’s very own birthplace
but I, am not for love
There was a man, who loved me
but I couldn’t love him back
because I, am not for love
I am drawn to men
that are not for love, too
because then, they give no love
and there is no love
I fell in love, with a man
that is not for love
He does not want love
Is okay with no love
Heart turned bad
by Mum or Dad
I dreamt of his dead sister
and I never even met her
I gave him love
I tried really hard
He made me so strong
I thought I was wrong
because maybe we were for love
just me and him, together
maybe we were for love
I tried to show him love
in my broken way of love
but he didn’t know
what to do with all my pieces
because he is not for love
He made me so strong
broke my heart so many times
I could feel it no more
But it’s not his fault, I knew
He is not for love
And I, am not for love
Search my eyes
I am not for love
I prefer no love
I want myself
and nothing else
Just like him
This is my reality
This is my truth
Search my eyes
I, am not, for love

Powerful piece Koraly, but I tend to think reality and truth can have strange ways of shifting on a person! I was not for love either…but one day…wow…it all fell into place. Either way, imagine this will be a very strong performance poem xxx
