Hollywood gods birth an unrealistic perfection of tragic romance

To fuel a victimized culture’s obsession with love

Supplantations of forever concocted by vivid imaginations

Poisoning the minds of our future generations by instilling a false hope’s emergence

Cleaving reality, they condemn us to an addiction of co-dependent expectations

Whoring our morals away to emulate the adulterating images of the silver screen

Suffering through doppelganger soul mate heartaches

Worshipping the supposal of finding the one

This is the little lie that we tell ourselves to quench the insatiable thirst of our masochistic dreams of sweet morbidity

A prelude to the inevitably awaiting agony of the endless masquerade

Proliferated by the influence of cinematic lusting

As the dream-concealing curtains rise, the stars fade from our eyes, and on our tongues the word forever dies

Enacting Romeo and his decimating melodramatics to soothe our rapacious hearts

Fancying the irrational tenet of escaping our dagger-bearing Capulet-esque endings

An immortal stalemate that’s been infused into our subconscious kiss by kiss

The psychological dependence that fuels love’s existence
