Embrace the Love That Can Never Be
When we are deep into
a constant,
unrequited,
impossible love,
such a divine passion
is said to be most soothing for pimples
and bunions.
Also,
as incredible as it seems,
a secret lover that you have no hope
of ever knowing or meeting -
those kinds of romantic fantasies
will totally banish kidney stones
and chronic melancholy.
Medical science agrees with scripture,
that the ridiculous and utterly unlikely,
can jazz up your libido, and add vim to your
most innocent of sins.
You can now date late at night,
while your partner beside you
dreams of making love
to some movies star or other
without any guilt.
Unfortunately,
a delusional broken heart
still hurts.
