When you date a
Poet
Author
A person blessed with talent for words

Dramatic texts
Meaningful talks
And emotions stirred

And crumpled papers on the floor

Don't try to comfort us with
Fake compliments
And "you tried" speeches
Just hold us and tell us to start from scratch

With a
Poet or
Author

They will offer you a
Love unfathomable
And continuous
And inconsistent

Because love is
Not perfect
And we will never
