DOES LOVE DESERVE PRIME TIME?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Do I have time for my self and Love
Is it important,  why and how?
I have my work, my day and routine
I need to mop up my kitchen and keep it clean
Then at the end of the day give love My time,
For Love needs peace, rhythm and rhyme

Do I  give love my prime time?
That's for my career, business and other things prime,
Giving love its share in my prime time
Is it a waste and a big crime?

I give time for my family, friends and work
And attention to my self and  love  I shirk,
For I deserve the end of time,
I can always take care of my self, later than prime time

Am I not worthy of attention and time,
why do I keep my self last all the time?
I ask my self this time and again
Is giving attention to self and Love a pain?

Let love be my secret private possession
I keep it last for the end of the day's tension.
Let love remain out of all other time
That other priorities I schedule each time.

Let love remain out of prime time
For it scares me it would take all my time .
Does love really deserve prime time?
