Before You Come with Love in Your Eyes

By Cynicism101

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Before you come to me with love in your eyes, consider selflessness, consider unworthiness, mine and yours. Consider repressing jealously. Consider idealism. Consider idealism, again. This time, literally. Consider attention and energy. Consider disconsidering every romance novel ever written. Consider getting over the sexual romantic societal complex and defining yourself and your givings by the absence, by the negative, by an emptiness filled with the unnamed. And when you think you've succeeded, go back again and consider idealism. Written February 6th, 2002 © on Feb 06 2002 12:22 PM PST   10 • 0 • 8
