Daily Prompts- Valentine’s Day?
So you love me, care for me?
Your devotion is steadfast?
It would be impossible for you
To break my heart, to forsake my love
The care you take to never poison our love
Will be the hallmark of your attachment
I would have believed you, I’d really have
If I hadn’t found the pictures from the last vacation
Plastered all over your Facebook page
Posing with a new girl every day
How quickly you change your affections
No one holding your interest for long
Won’t I be a fool to take all your declarations of love
At their face value, as if I was born just yesterday!

May all of your days be filled with love and laughter
