FOOTPRINTS IN CEMENT

I.

Some say that love is
a two way street,
two to tango,
chaste-white sheets,

stay-in-one-place-
fidelity,
his and hers bathrobes,
names carved on a tree,

honeymoons and valentines
and "we always agree",
here-at-eight, dinner out,
romantic walks by the sea.

II.

"Realistically, love is sacrifice,
commitment, compromise,

accepting flaws, second chances,
third tries,

sharing the washing up,
taking it in turns to hush the baby
when it cries,

all this nonsense about romance
and these garish paper hearts
are media propaganda
and Hollywood lies."

III.

Half of all marriages
end in divorce,

it looks like love
is weak, people never stay.

Singleness is the logical
recourse,

we keep away.

IV.
(I am not one to argue,
so I whispered my dissent;

love to me always just felt the same as
leaving footprints in cement)
Candid_carnage – thanks for the star to clarify – I don’t really think so low of love! I was voicing alternative opinions, mine is the last (IV)
