Love's Been Framed!

Lloyd Pearson IV
It never hurts anyone
but its the lack there of, that causes all the pain
people think they find it, but are mistaken
so it gets the blame
they don't even know what it looks like
but they search frantically
some think they experience it physically,
some emotionally & others romantically
it want you as bad as you want it
but you pass it up to chase the dreams
then you get mad and hate it
after you discover what you've found, isn't what it seems
it never mistreated you
so y do you resent it?
cause someone used it's identity
when they said things and never meant it
so now loves the suspect
its thrown in jail and now its up for trial
the jury proclaims it guilty
when its been innocent all the while
the perpetrator was skillful & cunning
when they planted the evidence
and nobody's there to witness for it
so it has no defense
so its locked away in prison
no letters, phone calls or money on the books
it desires to be with you
not entrapped with all the crooks
this is no place for it
but this is where it will remains to be
until u learn the truth about it
and decide to set it free

    Lloyd,

    I've enjoyed your poems. I wonder if some of the themes that you address through your poetry might be tackled in an essay format.

    I look forward to your next installment.
