what price do you pay

"love doesn't pay the bills."
ok.
you know what else doesn't pay the bills?
starving yourself off from intangible rewards like love
falling into depression
not being able to get out of bed
losing your sense of personal hygiene
quitting your job
because you let another one go again
because love doesn't do anything for you.... right?

okayyyy
and who says love doesn't pay the bills?
love will lend you a hand if you ask of it
love will pay for your cellphone bill so he can talk to you
love will let you stay at his place when even YOU can't afford to pay the bills

you know what else love does?
love tells you you're pretty when you wake up in the morning looking like a 0.2
love puts you to sleep at night with a smile on your face
love has your back when you have no money, no job, too many bills
love asks only of you to stay present and let the moment take care of you
love takes care of you
love gives you depth


who gives a fuck about bills.
"at the top is where i'm most lonely, had to act phony lost my one and only homie"
i used to think that way too. believe me. i thought love was just a joke.
stress. fights. blech's. blah's.
until i fell in love for real... and love will take care of the things that paying bills will never take care of.

sure you need heat
water
food
internet
but when you feel unloved
it doesn't matter.
cause at the end of the day when your bills are paid up, you're still lonely.
and part of you is dead.

i'd rather feel alive and be barely living, than be living and feel barely alive.
