the true ache
of listening to
love songs comes
when you know
the story behind
words recorded
in total dedication
resonating through
the listener who
wants that feeling
all for themself
unaware of the
agony when this
perfect emotion
shatters to dust

for every immaculate
ode to adoration
comes fifteen more
reiterating the pain
which comes with loss
and while we all yearn
for the good times
we can all commiserate
the agony together

love songs and poetry
are just pyramid schemes
to trick you into
believing there is hope
when hopelessness is
truly the common denominator
tying knots in the tangled
tapestry of the sisters three
bringing lives crashing together
