My Very Own Greek Philosophy

There was a time in my life
that I smashed every single dinner plate
in my loveless kitchen
for the bad love I was receiving
the palpitations of grief
never knowing what I ever did 
to deserve such love?
I broke every last plate
and it felt really good 
 
and now?
 
I'd give anything in the world 
to glue those beautiful priceless plates back together
serving up a warm home cooked meal 
For the one I love, and who loves me back
 
see the price for bad love
didn't come cheap
 
classic handmade plates 
don't come cheap
and neither does bad love 
It's the most expensive lesson
I've ever had to learn
just to understand my own self-value
and instead of thinking about
what a waste of time and money
 
I have instead come to learn
that it's the greatest investment 
I could have ever made
because, now I know love’s true value
 
everyone deserves real love
that's simply, unlimited, endless
and without bounds.
