My Love Is Like A Long-Stemmed Rose

My Love Is Like A Long-Stemmed Rose

My love is like a long-stemmed rose
Pulled tight about my neck
My love is hot like a bed of coals
now barefoot on them I trek

My love is like a flock of birds
that rain shit upon my face
My love is like fine paper
shoe-dragged all over the place

My love sets me in the clouds
leaving me to suffer in them alone
My love stands out in a crowd
thanks to his tacky,cheap cologne

My love is sweet like a punch
that has no sugar at all
My love is like a serenade
made by a ducks decoy call

My love moves like dancer
when someone's greased his pole
My love is like a verdant garden
whose choking weeds I can't control

My love comforts like warm milk
that's been left out in the sun
My love satisfies like chocolate
when he has eaten every one

My love is like a candle
With hot wax falling on my skin
My love is like an oak tree
And he's the nut therein

My love is like a race horse
that needs to be shot
My love's not perfect of course
but he's the only one I've got
