Cynical Rant

I rave and rant
And love no more
Reason’s been shown the door
The memory of an elephant
Is badly hurt and sore!
 
Good times I remember not
Cynicism has taken its place
I think it’s a great disgrace
To think halcyon times
Were just a phase!
 
A tender smile, a loving word
I give a motive now
I don’t believe an ardent vow
It’s just some words you see
Phrased nicely to stop a row!............
