Love Drives Poem by Thomas Case

I'm tired of that
Humpty Dumpty
kind of love,
proud and walled
up,
falling
shattered into a
thousand tattered
pieces.

Love drives between
the lines.
It doesn't rush
headlong into
oncoming traffic,
taking the lives of
others.

It's never
cruel or brutal.

It comforts the sick.
It doesn't think with
its dick.
It doesn't leave when
times get tough.
it buckles down through
this rough and tumble
game we call life.
