I refuse to become the product of my parents A sold idea that Love expires Like curdled milk That love is a stone that you toss across a lake Become amused by a few skips before you find a new stone so the sunken one is replaced
I refuse to follow the same path The same torture And mistakes
When the vows are said The wedding night made The promises meant to be kept Will be taken to the grave And that's it. That's that. Like a shopping list simply cross Divorce off as a choice and buy something else. Anything else.
Because love is not perishable. Love is not an expired product.
