I Found Love

I wanted love and I found it
Amongst cigarette butts
And voicemails
Passed out in a bathroom
Clutching its porcelain pillow

I wanted love and I found it
Knee deep in grass
And broken egg shells
Lying under the cover of my arm
For the last time

I wanted love and I found it
In a cheap motel
At midnight
Far away from home
Out later than I should be

I wanted love and I found it
Reeking of fresh perfume
And alcohol
Holding out it’s hand
But taking steps back

I wanted love and I found it
Wearing tight clothing
And laying in bed
Giving me a smile
That was never mine to keep
