    ROMANCE IS DEAD

    When I no longer hear;
    "I love you!"
    From your lips.

    But receive it from;
    A text instead.

    I think it's safe to say;
    Romance is,
    Truly dead.

    When in our current,
    Economy's state.

    Fast food is considered;
    A romantic date.

    I think it can be said;

    Romance is,
    Sadly dead.

    When candles are only lit;
    Because you didn't,
    Pay the bill.

    When to be happy,
    You have to;
    Take a pill.

    When you send your love,
    An Ecard.

    It's plain to see,
    It can't be hard.

    That I can repeat,
    What I said;
    Romance is truly dead.

    When you have sex,
    In the backseat;
    Instead if a bed.
    When you can get married;
    On the web.

    I think you'll agree;
    Romance is dead.

    great look at the world. So true with this one, romance has kinda fallen off the grid, a trip to mc donalds n valentines day a steamy hot backseat encounter, yeah I would say romance is dead.

    took a different path with this poem from the ones I read before but nailed it as always. You look as if you could write about almost anything. Another great one!!

    Very good commentary on the state of "affairs" and other relationships, enjoyed this. Whiskers

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
