So Human

Social Acceptability

His heart was stone but his hands were warm

And a false sense of security would soon arise

But a feeling, a premonition, plagued me

Still, I accepted his lies and ignored my mind.

When I woke up

I was disconcerted by the truth

And taken aback

By how much of me he had managed to steal

And there was not a person to blame but myself

What we had was a caricature

A parody of what love could be

And all that I can ascertain

From this failed bout of love,

From this relationship of only lust,

Is that this story is cliché

And it is on a constant loop for all of us

And we're stuck

Like a broken record player

We'll still approach love maladroitly

Until we'll learn that love has no boundaries

And we leave behind all senses of propriety,

And social acceptability
