True Love Never Dies

True Love never dies

seen it live for years on nothing but lies

we’ve seen many cases like that before

those experienced know there’s no known cure

True Love won’t die by thirst

lets everyone else drink before it goes first

no living creature can go without truth

but True Love learns to suck out its own youth

True Love lives for pain

i’ve seen one live through three straight Xmas in the rain

only yards from where it thought it was living

must be True Love to go alone the season of giving

True Love won’t go away

it can’t hear the things it needs you to say

over time it grows it’s trademark shell

thru which nothing gets its journey in hell

True Love will never starve

just give it free TV and someone else’s yard

in the desert of silence it thrives

on negligence already learned to survive

teach True Love not to speak

reject every message sent until weak

let True Love know all it has to say

instill panic ruins the rest of your day

tho you’ve convinced it wants only to fight

you might be forced to find True Love for the night

it will believe the panic you describe 

tell it you’ve become unglued in each reply

tell True Love it’s very presence instills fear

soon you’ll train it into never coming near

True Love will never die

feed it silent neglect you need never to it lie

you’ll realize that was on what it was always skilled 

and that you’ve all this time known True Love must be killed
