Love songs. Are they always true? Probably not. Thematic for sure, personally revealing? I guess that depends on the writer, the motivation, and causation. Pain is a reoccurring theme in love songs. Can there be love without pain? Is love discovered only after pain is experienced?
As a guy who was always better at starting relationships than maintaining relationships, I'm afraid I provided a lot of material for former girlfriends to write love songs. As memories come to mind, I continue to pray for their healing from the pain I caused over the seasons of our relationships. Pain can be a relational wake-up call. A point of realization that something isn't right. Something needs to change. A decision point has been reached. Breaking up isn't always hard to do, you know?
That being said, the poem and song below do reflect such a pain point in my life. As with previous spoken word/musical posts, the words are mine and the vocal/music arrangement is AI generated through Suno.com.
And NO: this isn't about me and Karen. We're totally good as we head into our 22nd year of marriage!
