Is love to give or love to take

Do I give my love or is it taken,

If it’s taken is it at behest

If given is it by request

 

Confusion reigns

to give, to take, But given can I take it back 

Further down life’s railroad track 

Or taken is gone for good

Lost forever in the wood 

 

You take my love and lock it up

And leave me cold and out of luck

If given though I can reclaim

And share it with another name.

 

For ease I’ll neither take nor give

But keep my love so I can live

Without the fear of mis direction

I can live without affection.
