When you look at me what do you see
Im dying to know how I’m perceived
What about me drew you in
Was it my looks
Was it my grin
Did my energy radiate like sunshine
Did you think to yourself,
I have to make her mine
You say im not the like rest you’ve met
Even have all of your closest family and friends attest
There was just something about me I suppose
That seemed to peak your interest the most
Yet in the end im left crying to my friends
Wondering what changed
Was there something wrong with the love that I gave?
Maybe it’s the way I dress
Or better yet maybe there’s something wrong in my head
For I can’t wrap around my mind
On how something so evil could have seemed so divine
One last question
Before we never speak again
Was this ever real for you
Or all just pretend

for generations
the mantra has been
'love ain't real'
'too much work'
'broken families yielding broken families
so why bother trying'
'body counts, as accepted topics'
'scoring people on appearances
out of ten, like it's a humane thing'
'a million playbooks on one night stands'
all anchored by those celeb divorce rates
with prenup's as our only relationship, guarantees...
but now, we've lost
what it means to be two people
trying to build something substantial
a way to be partners without hurting each other
how even without happily ever-after we can still respect and treasure each other
all this and so much more, lost
so all that's left is this crude imitation
of a relationship, based on flicking right
and clicking a heart on pics
drinking games, short lived highs
and blink n miss, memories
(they said people evolved from hunter gatherer's
now we've devolved to mere thrill seekers
slaloming past other people's hearts
like it's an Olympic event)
I salute anyone brave enough
to try and seek love
in our meaninglessly crude, age
