You Can't Keep Me Away From Love Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You can't.
You can't keep me,
Away from love.
No.
You can't.
You can't keep me,
Away from love.

A broken heart I have had.
To have it mend.
With a hope to find again,
That love to win.

Maybe I had too much.
Or not enough of it.
Since it's only love I feel.
Whether I give it or get.

You can't.
No, you can't.
Keep me away from love.
No! Oh...
You can't.
You can't keep me,
Away from love.

I felt to get that puppy love.
Discovered when I was young.
And I couldn't do nothing but...
Feel my mind messed up!

I would walk around,
Bumping into trees and stuff.
Then I did not realize...
Someone had my nose opened,
Wide...
And down to my guts.
That had me strut.

No you can't
Oh no you can't.
Keep me away from love.
I am a hopeless giver of it.
And I know...
You can't.
You can't.
Get me to get it to quit.

A broken heart I have had.
Maybe twice or more.
And I went through the agony.
Of trying love to ignore.

But love can't be ignored.
No matter where one may hide.
The absence of it gets missed.
To rid those self told lies.

You can't.
You can't keep me.
Away from love.
I am a lifetime victim of it.
Committed.

You can't.
You can't keep me.
Away from love.
Nooo...
Oh,
You can't.
You can't keep me.
Away from love.
To give it to get or forget it.
To give it to get or forget,
To love I am committed!
