Poem title: Arrested Development
Written by: Luchetta(Cookee)Manus © 2013

Can you show me who love is?
Put out an APB
For love, he is infamous
Can you put love in a line up
Point him out to me
I am the victim of love's imposturous abuse

Love was taken upon my birth and violently ripped from me
Extracted from the coldness of this Earth
I never asked to become apart of

I was the product of what I guess was love
Maybe
Why has love never found me again?
I admit, I used love's name a few times
It fell from my lips upon favored ears
But it wasn't real love
I've heard stories about love
Songs about love
People giving up their lives all in the name of love
But love passed me by
Love is mysterious and far removed from me
I am envious
Of those who found him
