Gone and dead are the times of romance,
the chalky candy is quickly discarded.
Hallmark greetings fail to create the trance
of love - but this is disregarded.
Flowers withering on the window pane
next to half-bitten chocolates with
stale cherry filling. It feels lame
to buy into this commercial myth.
Cheap cliches inexplicably wrapped
up with love and committment.
All my thoughts and feelings are sapped
of sincerity - I'm not content
with half-truth banalities, sappy dinners,
and waiting for love to inevitably simmer.
