Love Is Dead
I have been heartbroken again.
Never will I say that
true love can be found
in the most unexpected place,
that is wrong, the truth is,
love sank when the Titanic did
Money and sex
are more important than
love and loyalty,
to be honest and sincere
is no more the right thing to do;
cheating and flirting around
is the most profitable venture.
To forgive those who broke my heart
seems impossible but I will.
Trying to love myself again
is what I never believed in.
Heartbreak
is what I give to bad girls.
look and leave...
Is the thought that fills my heart.
"I need love to live"
is a lie and
"all girls are cheats".
Marriage is not meant for this generation.
it is absurd to say that
there is true love,
except we reverse it
