Love: A Strategic Approach

Love has been a series
Of bad fits and false starts.

I parachute in backwards and blindfolded,
Then wonder why I miss the mark.

Sex is fast and furious -
Outweighs the obvious bad parts

I convince myself to accept old drama
By pretending it is modern art.

Hope clings to the fantasy of us
Even as our real world falls apart.

Pain comes in as lovers walk out,
Leaving my body submerged in darts.

So for now, I will change tactics -
Keep it light, play it smart.

Too bad they don't make condoms
For those who lead with their hearts.
