Love Poem: Cyncical

Cyncical

I’ll tell you now “forever” is an awesome concept, 
Yet promises made unto it are very seldom kept.

Believe me that “for always” doesn’t truly exist,
In the heat of a moment bondage is hard to resist.

Far more losers than winners in the game of romance,
An adventure filled with pitfalls high risks and chance.

Your odds of success are usually next to none,
So don’t get too excited play it out just for fun.

Rough and tumble contention so very unforgiving,
More greedy taking than generosity or giving.  

With each hand dealt your heart is openly bet,
The outcome could bring intense joy or regret.

Most secretly seek physical satisfaction, 
Fail to act with a shred of compassion.

While judgment is clouded by dreams in your head,
They’ll love you like the devil then leave you for dead.

Still others look for the vulnerable to take advantage of,
Pouring forth false promises and pretended love.

Stay ever vigilant watchful and beware, 
Remain cynical taking heed and care.
