Until

Until lemons become sweet
Until vegetables become meat
Until hands become feet
I will love you until…

Until left becomes right
Until day becomes night
Until darkness become light
I will love you until…

Until the beginning becomes the end
Until women become men
Until God begins to sin
I will love you until…

Until laziness become endeavor
Until stupid become clever
Until now become never
I will love you until…

Until the stars drop out of the sky
Until my heart begins to lie
Until every answer replaces “why”
I will love you until…

Until snakes stop biting
Until poets stop writing
Until countries stop fighting
I will love you until…

Until songs are song in silence
Until love is defined as violence
Until we all fall into compliance
I will love you until…

Until water is no longer wet
Until the sun no longer set
Until the poor no longer bet
I will love you until…

Until money start growing on trees
Until birds start copulating bees
Until everything comes with ease
I will love you until…

Until you know my love is real
But even then, I’ll love you still
I’ll give you something you can feel
Because I’ll love you until…
