I've decided to give up on true love
it is too fickle
too easily confused with sex
impossible to attain without sex
it asks the impossible
and gives nothing in return
except heartburn and time alone
or worse still bad time together
I'm giving up on passion
of one person for another
in favor of anything empty and easy
why go through all the effort
if all you get in return is silence
those people who have it
are just flaunting their eventual failures
i will be happy with empty pleasures
you can have your tidy cottages
your romantic brunches
if you can take the heartache
that comes when they're gone
i will not have this roller coaster
i never liked circus rides anyway
i will take the highs of life
and retreat only back to a quiet place
without the stomach wrenching falls
because there will be nothing serious
to drop me in free fall
and you can have the same
because i will not make you love me
all we will ever have
from this day forward
will be comedy and farce
I will leave love for someone else
