First I’ll describe every attribute of you
in the most fantastical way possible
Your eyes will turn from black to blue
Your faults become selling points
Your maneuverers become a ballet dance
even if you’re walking in a straight line
When you're standing,
you become a statue of gold
I’ll insert some synonyms here,
some antonyms there.
Overused similes here
quirky metaphors there.
If I'm sad,
I’ll just flip the adjectives.
I’ll blame everything on me,
even though I have no idea what’s going on.
I’ll write that my world has darkened,
whilst sat with my computer on full brightness.
I’ll add some quotes in foreign languages ;
Latin, to make the poem seem old,
and therefore reputable,
or French,
to distract you from the poem’s
lack of depth.
A fool-proof strategy, to let you fall for the poem.
How do you not realise
that all these have been said countless times
by countless mouths,
written by countless pens and pixels
read by countless eyes.
