Electric Love

The shock of love can be both exhilarating and terrifying, but it always brings to the light what was hidden.

Is the love dying? Am I not trying? I keep praying for my relationship but why isn’t anyone replying? I have genuine intentions when I pray—free of any agendas that are underlying.

There are moments when I am happy. There are moments when I sigh. Sometimes I smile. Then, intermittently cry. You can scuba dive in the puddles my tears form.

Is the love dying? Could it be that I am overzealous forcing a connection? I of all people should know you can’t bend people to your will and liking. Exercise patience; if it is meant to be it will manifest at the right timing.

I spent volts of money. Excuse me… I meant to say vaults of money—just to boost our relationship. But that still did not amp things up. I always asked her, “do you love me?” She always replied, “Ummm.” I grew tired of her ohms, Excuse me… I meant to say ummms. Now I am confused questioning “does she love me, or the money.” I cannot tell what’s what.

I got her in the palm of my hand. I can’t let go; I am stuck. The current subsides, our present transforms into the past. My grip unstrengthened; our love lost its spark. I became aware I was forcing things to last. I was never in a relationship. I was simply a smash and pass—it was all about the cash.

Now I am back on the dating circuit searching for real love. I am wired different this time around. You have to be wired different in order to be admired different—that is the only way to acquire different. This time around I will make sure that I am not admired for money and merch. But, it still hertz, ooops… I meant to stay it still hurts, that she loved me last and the money first. I should not be shocked as to why our love did not have a pulse. It was not love; it was just lust—sexual admirations that were robust. We were just going with the flow of impulse. The current was strong. In the absence of her, there were many nights when I cried and nearly convulsed. Now, I have learned and I don’t repulse the result.

I’ve learned when you are in love, you avoid never be complacent. Continue to surprise and shock them, your love should be at high voltage. Because, if you care to shock someone, their heart will unstrengthen -and no longer will they be adjacent. When your wire dies, another circuit will become your replacement.
