For men who find it difficult to love

For men who find it difficult to love,

for love is a beast

impossible to tame.

 

They never tell you love is about giving

cause you spend your whole life receiving it

from your mother,

your father,

your sister,

your brother,

your family,

your friends.

 

Love hits you

like nothing you’ve had before.

It is more than finding your feet

scarier than learning to walk

as painful as when you hurt your knee

trying to ride your new bike

as low as laying your father to rest.

 

Love scares the shit out of you

yes,

if only to purify your soul

before seeing into someone else’s

mind,

spirit,

self.

 

To love is to give

without the expectation to receive.

 

Unlearn part of the what

the world has taught you.
