Giant Ball

Love is expensive
You told me
The night we met
I’m never getting married.

Love is cheap
But it ain't free
In a dirty motel room
You look better
Than anything I’ve
Ever seen.

Love is beautiful
My daughter laughs
Throws a stick in the
Air and yells look
Daddy.

Love is overrated
You state flatly
In a dive in Bakersfield
I’m half in the bag.

Love is everything
Rolled up
Into a giant ball
Unfortunately.

Love is war
Some say
I don’t disagree
Necessarily.
