Love has no consideration at all

Love has no consideration at all

it lies bleeding in vacant hotel rooms
written in blood across carpet and wall
emotion on credit that someone must pay for
Love has no consideration at all

it loiters at airports refusing to leave
packed in a suitcase waiting in the hall
farewells bereft of tears and compassion
Love has no consideration at all

crouching in the shadows of riches or squalor
ready to pounce on its victims soul
leaving a sour taste when it kisses no,
Love has no consideration at all

always prepared with lies and excuses
well rehearsed lines when it happens to call
when you think that you don't really need it unheeded,
Love has no consideration at all

it plays its loudest tunes unrehearsed
crowding floors unmoved by Bach or rock n' roll
Love writes the notes to its own music
so play on maestro, for
Love has no consideration at all.

Superb! The truth sings out with rhyme and rhythm...and still the truth zings.
