Sorry This Isn't A Corny Love Poem.

Sorry that I can't write a corny love poem,
Something about stars and the night moon,
About hearts skipping beats and butterflies,
I also don't see one of them coming soon.

Sorry that I can't write you a poem, my friend,
About how you have my hand and my heart,
And how no one could separate us in the end,
But not mention that it would happen at the start.

Sorry I can't write something to make it okay,
To make you feel better and so you feel at ease,
Maybe I am being selfish and "not caring" lately,
Cos I wouldn't write it even if you said please.

Sorry I can't write anything that'll satisfy you,
About a forever that I refuse to believe in,
Even if you swear, it doesn't affect me - it's true.
Because this is what I think and feel within.

There are no love poems and no happy poems,
None that you want to bother reading anymore,
Simply because everything's a lie I've come to see,
And life's not butterflies and rainbows, it's a self war.

And right now, I'm losing badly.
