Empty Words, Soapy Sublimations

Uttering sugar-coated words is one dimension Promising to love is one aspect, we must love Walking on the head is crazy, we must embark on the mission That proves our readiness and willingness to give Stacks of moons and stars we promise In our haste to gain social mileage In the wake of the longing we increase On our Facebook page Cos promising belittles the dignity Inherent in a spirit of true sacrifice Which gives the little it can both here and at infinity where affinity Traverses promise chasms and holds that it doesn’t suffice To raise hopes on sentimental slopes we intend to dash At the earliest opportunity we exploit then cut and run Like the yellow cowardice we flash When partners demand more than the fun We long to access in the social process Where we profess to give much Deliver less than we access in terms of genuine progress We purloin as soon as hallowed happiness from others shamelessly we snatch.
