Do you believe in Cupid’s quiver?
If so, prepare you heart to shiver
From the bitter bite of constant winter
Within this world of go-getter and lone giver.
There is no “one”...
Only no one.
I hate to crush your embellished dreams
But reality is not painted with such beautiful streams.
The story of life comprises eschewed reams.
All you feel is not what it seems...
The shimmer of rings,
The angel chorus sings,
Love songs on wings...
Life is not made of such beautiful things.
No ma’am,
There is no magic man.
There is no Dapper Dan.
Beware the perfect man,
Beware the perfect dame,
Who can decimate a heart
With a softly-spoken claim.
You may find a beauty
You might find a beast
But you can’t create love
With a bountiful feast.
Neither a bed of caressing
Nor a bouquet of charm
Could protect your spirit
From devastating harm.
I’m sorry to shatter your glass castle from where you search
And wait for love from a pinnacled perch...
But no sir,
There is no magic woman.
There is no Wonder Woman.
Beware the golden lady,
Beware the golden man,
Who can siphon a soul
By holding a hand.
