Medusa’s Love

Medusa was there for me

For as long as I could remember.

She was there to caution me

To not make the same mistakes

Because falling in love would always lead me to heartbreak.

She warned me to stay away from love

Because she hated the part where my heart would break.

With a series of heartache

And people playing on my heart strings

I didn’t want any more flings.

Medusa was right; it was time to cast love aside

Because love was nothing like the stories described.

Medusa tried to tell me love was indeed not a blessing

And I was sure I had learned my lesson.

Medusa said love is a game only fools play,

I guess that’s why everybody was playing Dre.

But no more, I was done with that game

And my only focus was to rise to fame.

It didn’t last long because of love’s advances.

Tell me, who doesn’t believe in second chances?

Medusa, that’s who

And she was right there, in my ear.

“Love is not what it appears!”

“Hadn’t love made that clear?”

But I didn’t care!

If I don’t experiment with love, how can I ever understand it?

This time around, I had to commit.

No more half in, half out

With Medusa in my ear,

Leaving me paralyzed in fear.

For she indeed wasn’t what she appeared.

She was just a shadow cast by my fears.
