I intended to create a love scale <br />For anytime I had a doubt <br />I knew when I thought of love <br />The scale would balance out <br /> <br />This imaginary instrument <br />Swayed in my head <br />Kept me occupied <br />When a man turned his head <br /> <br />Many possibilities were weighed <br />Maybe I added on a few <br />The scale never failed me <br />Until I fell for you <br /> <br />Even though I contemplate <br />And look for reasons we should fail <br />My thoughts only turn to love <br />And you, you break my scale <br /> <br />Your beauty, reasons, and possibilities <br />Weigh a million pounds <br />And the risks, bitterness, and pain <br />Go crashing toward the ground<br /><br />Whitney Albright<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-love-scale/
