Love Isn't Binary

You made a rainy day sunny

You became my lovely fresh start

You gave me all of your money

But you didn't give me your heart

For you, I put on a pretty dress

But you make it feel transactional

You'll never be impressed
You're too obsessed with the rational

I hear the poetry

In a raven's call

But all you hear is a bird

Singing in fall

I asked you what magic was

But you didn't seem to recall

Once you said I put on a spell

But I guess 'twas a spell of alcohol

You can take back your gems

And all those chocolates & roses

I want us to not pretend

'Cause that's how love decomposes

I know that I sound greedy

When you have nothing left to impart

I'm not really that needy

But honey, I do want your heart
