LOVE'S PLEA: “LET ME”
by Daberechi Ubachukwu (Dabz)


Many people don’t seem to understand me

Worse still, they don’t want to understand me.

They summarize me in their myopic way and store away in a shelf

But now it’s about time I introduced myself.



I'm plain and as simple as ABC

If you'll just look a lil' deeper then you'll see

I'm not just the words you profess

Those are superficial, most times useless.

I'm something more special, something priceless

And when I come between two people I make them a success.



I look for the tiniest glimpse of good even where evil outweighs

Then I blow up the good and turn whoever from their evil ways.

I'm neither hyper- nor hypo-critical

I'm as honest as they come, I'm far from cynical.

And as gentle as they come, I never get physical

I go hand in hand with trust, no room for betrayal.



So girl, when that guy follows you up and down

That ain't me stalking.

When he promises to make your world go round

That ain't me talking.

So don’t cry: "I caught my LOVE making out with a whore backstage!"

Cos when I come, I come in a full package.

So if you're so foolish as to get your heart broken

Don’t blame me cos I've had to take that again and again without a word spoken.

Don’t you realize that as you hurt from heartbreaks time after time

I hurt too cos I'm the victim here, not the crime.



And boy, when that girl sucks you dry

That ain't me you're feeding.

So when you end up broke and asking why

Why is it me you start beefing?

Will you stop that song! How dare you say that I'm wicked?

When you've already made plans for another girl for next weekend?

You have abused me for too long!

Now my only plea is to be placed where I belong.



Love me and let me teach you how to love

Let me teach you the principles we use up here, above.

I'm more than a feeling, I'm a personality

The One who loved you first, the focal point of your spirituality.

I am LOVE! I AM GOD!!!

My only plea is to be loved...and to let love.
