The Three Words

I was born in the age of lovesongs

But now it's time to write one

The words seem far too hollow

The platitudes so crude

Was there ever three words so overused

As simple 'I love you'.

It's a call to action. Romance's grand refrain.

The culmination of something so much greater

That thoughts of loss and gain.

And yet we try to capture it

Butterfly meet the pin.

A net of words, flawed, absurd.

And still we try to grasp

The subtleties of a human heart

As if to make it ours.
