Andrew Crisci Poet Ballad

The Cause of False Romance

Friends may be wondering why I pay
more attention to true romance,
since I was warned and told,
" Work your way to kindness,
and appreciate it more than gold. "
Falling too easily and too quickly
for somebody seems crazy. "

I should have listened
to my mom for once,
not given her a nasty look, 
suddenly sped away;
she meant well, but it didn't stick.
I kept spreading my bed
with scented rose petals,
invited beautiful girls over
on long days of hot summer
and took their innocence away.
Did they understand their mistake?
Did I understand I was bad?

For each tear they shed,
no younger heart cried and bled
more than they did;
they were angels caught
in a Paradise
of unexpected surprises,
It opened their teary eyes
and made them see the real me,
showing a false romance
that didnt make sense;
I played the role of king
and felt happy.

Stubborn boys out there,
don't ever try this trick;
playing with false romance
harms innocent girls:
it's unkind, it's an awful fix.
All naughty boys
shouldn't be remembered
and loved,
but despised
and pushed aside;
they are the cause
of false romance.
