The Pedant

It's so easy to say you love me

But what do you mean by love?

Is it something you see in me,

Or a spirit falling from above?

 

You say I'm merely a nit-picker

Analysing everything to death

Yet I must be quite sure of you

To own your very last breath

 

Love is simply a word to others

So glibly pronounced for effect

But I dont want to fall for you

Only for you to turn and defect

 

Love needs solid foundations

That endure and pass the test,

Supporting the rages of time,

Concrete scrutiny is the best

 

Your feelings appear so muted

You cant tell me what you feel

Hot air has burned me before

Castles in the sky are not real

 

You demand my version of love

I must respond by speaking true

Chemical and magnetic is love:

My atoms are not drawn to you
