I Will Not Say "Love" In This Poem

Not because I don’t have it,

Or I don’t feel it,

But because I say it too much.

​

When you take a week off from sweets,

You practically have a heart attack

When you eat a piece of candy.

​

But my poems suck when I don’t talk about,

Well, the elephant in the room.

​

What do people talk about if not

The purple and green source of our living?

​

I suppose the Superbowl is coming up,

We can gather a group, microwave snacks,

And pretend we don’t want to witness each others’ birth moments.

​

I was sort of joking, but yeah,

I’m free this weekend.
