Day By Day
My belief in happiness through another human being has left me jaded.
Breakfast in bed turned into flowers for the dead of a relationship that once bloomed.
I prostituted my worth for a dance with a destiny that did not belong to me.
For a person like myself a life of dread needs no convincing
I would gladly buy snake oil if the price were right.
I end it with this. For all young lovers who forfeit common sense for a walk in that beautiful garden I give you this advice. Watch out for the thorns you are sure to come upon during your travel.

Wish I could have read this when I was younger.
Great write!! I could feel the emotion behind your words.
I'm sorry if this is a hurt you just went through, hugs

A decisive trek indeed, that we all traverse, in relation to one another. Romance is something that is highly misunderstood, in terms of consequence and responsibility. I feel like you capture that from an experience that has left you doubtful and regretting. You used good contrast of metaphor and moral compass, along with some irony. Very expressive indeed. I hope you continue to work at writing, and hone your skills, and master the craft. You have a lot of potential. Anyway, thanks for sharing!
