PAD Prompt: Anti-love
Poetic Form: Catena Rondo
“Let’s Be Honest”
Let’s finally be honest about this.
Love is an illusion we compose
with recycled cliches no one knows.
Let’s finally be honest about this.
Love is an illusion we compose.
Past moments quickly fade.
We color in loneliness. It never stays.
Love is an illusion we compose.
Past moments quickly fade
reminding us that love is already gone.
Every kiss ends, every person moves on.
Past moments quickly fade
reminding us that love is already gone.
We stand alone holding the aftershocks
from broken hearts now behind locks,
reminding us that love is already gone.
Let’s finally be honest about this.
Love is an illusion we compose
with recycled cliches no one knows.
Let’s finally be honest about this.
