Modern Love

A concept overdone

and yet you bit off

more than you could chew


and tried toying with

something cliche' that

you knew you would

never be able to pull off


creatively like you

wanted to.


But maybe Modern love's

a rebel's song on the radio -


maybe it's me and you

and Skype and no such thing

as home.


Perfume for no reason

and wires crossed, but

no stars, like Shakespeare promised.


Maybe this is that

modern love you

always talked about...


All hot and bothered

with no real beginning

and disappearance to

mark the end.
