Artifical Love
the love we exchange
could never balance
your love appears artificial
compared to mine
a quart of sweetener
an ounce of sugar cane
your love tastes artificial
but it dances on my tongue
pepto-bismol beverage disposes of my heart aches
that fall to my stomach
your love is artificial
but that'll never get through my skull
i'll eat your love
and rummage for more
it's all that i could adore
could never balance
your love appears artificial
compared to mine
a quart of sweetener
an ounce of sugar cane
your love tastes artificial
but it dances on my tongue
pepto-bismol beverage disposes of my heart aches
that fall to my stomach
your love is artificial
but that'll never get through my skull
i'll eat your love
and rummage for more
it's all that i could adore

Dear C,
I couldn’t help but think how toxic the antagonist sounds in this write and the protagonist is better off without this unseemly agitation. Your formatting is terrific, makes the poem flow and storyline very readable. I’m sorry for the pain of it, that’s never fun. Your poem is relatable and excellent. H🌷

For some these encounters can be permanent for some temporary.
It's a risk both parties take upon meeting.
There's no telling what the outcome will be before embarking on this journey of two.

Sounds like only half the package to me, as you elude to. You're waiting for the deeper emotional stuff. Very well written & expressed.

Great first entry! Sometimes the artificial just needs something real to change them! Don't give up! Kill them with kindness!
