Forever Loving You

by Eric Muss-Barnes

Does pretentious poetry make you want to projectile vomit, just for effect? Then you have found your proverbial hairball instigator with Forever Loving You.

Relive those horrible times of young adulthood, when you thought of yourself as a hopeless romantic, when in fact, you were just a selfish jerk looking for someone else to validate your happiness, and then became hurt and resentful when they broke your pathetic little heart.

Perhaps you are living that time in your life right now? And you're too lazy to write your own poetic drivel? Well, fret not! Now, my little Don Juan, you can copy obscure lovepoems from this book no one has ever read, and pass the verses off as your own! Pepper them into your loveletters and she will think you're a charming and upstanding gentleman, even when you both know you're just a manipulative emotional blackmailer.

That's right, boys and girls, Forever Loving You is page after page of hundreds of poems, all filled with the same longing and yearning and adoration and hope that you desperately cling to in your own life... plus it's written with the simplicity of a lame greeting card in the supermarket.
