"Happily ever after"
That tried and true
phony feel good closing
found only in fairy tales
and romance fiction
but
we continually
perpetually
sign up for the dream
Chasing that
ever after phrase
through
the lose your mind fields
of romance ruins
Sprinkle
"this is the one"
generously
over past disappointments
Savor that sliver burst
of passion possibilities
we incessantly
wax poetic about
As if our pretty words
and epic denials
can somehow transform
our ugly reality
into a beautiful swan
Love will always be
a great place to visit
but
a golden palace few
ever get
to permanently
reside in
