'love,' you say?

'love?' you say,
have a canapé
vulnerability
opens up our
jugular, to so
much hurt, to pain
be crushed and dashed
and maimed
destroyed with
utter disdain
we are contrarily
brought up
to be strong
independent
no one's fool
always look out
for number one
be proud, stand tall
headstrong, but
in pride, we fall
in that simple way
on any given day--
we are flawed lovers;
'love,' you say? here's
another canapé
