Cheap hallmark one liners
to soothe the
desperate and lonely
as another 14th day
of the 2nd month
passes by
but isn't it better
to be desperately alone
than to be miserable
in the pretense of love?  
Artificial love is
nothing more than
a cheap spray on tan
when you look at it closely
its nothing but
ugly and repulsive
Don't be persuaded
out of your solitude
for the cheap perfume
of the maybe
one day pretending
will bloom wild
and free flowers
It won't
You will get nothing
but toxic plastic
and meaningless scars
or worse than that
you will die
and never have known
anything more than
cheap hallmark one liners
