what love isn't

what love is
seems to be a foreign country
at times.
one
unvisited, i've spent
too many years
in the land
of what love
isn't.
planted my feet on
that hard
soil,
that shifting sand, expecting
better things
to come.
expecting the lush greenery
of life.
the sweetness of fruit.
not the bitter
taste
of lemons.
