When I fall, I fall wholly –
without a safety net of any kind.
Prenups are an insult of love,
all in fear of an imaginary night.

Contract lovers are worse
than contract killers,
at least contract killers
don’t second guess their motive.
Either love or don’t,
there’s no second guessing –
either marry or don’t,
there’s no contract matrimony.

Prenups are for juveniles,
Clauses are for cowards.
To seek escape in commitment,
is an act of con, not love.

Escapists have no right to love,
Lovers have no need for escape.
When you change exes like socks,
It’s a sickness, not a choice.

You know who the biggest enemy
of the lover is? It’s the behaviorist.
The behaviorist warns, but the lover
wants to believe – the behaviorist
restrains, but the lover wants to fall.

So far, every time the behaviorist
has had the final word – I told you so –
yet the lover never learns the lesson.
Still at the faintest possibility of love,
lover jumps in, lock, stock and barrel.

Love misplaced is not love wasted,
Love misplaced is heart sweetened.
Trust misplaced is not trust lost,
Trust misplaced is humanity tested.

Every good deed is a test of heart,
Every act of love is existence tried.
It’s okay to be disappointed in deception,
but never let it turn your ideals into a lie.
