It ain’t life

It ain’t love,
it ain’t life:
that which does
not change
you,
that which does
not break
you,
that which does
not challenge
you.

It ain’t love,
it ain’t life:
if it does
not erase,
the faces
from your mind,
the wants and the donts,
if it does
not crash
the dreams and goals
the future and the past.

If it does
not turn
everything
upside down.

It ain’t love,
it ain’t life,
it ain’t a mystery,
and it ain’t worth it.
