Real Love Is Rare
Many seek a loyal mate
but take a fickle stand.
Many simply renounce fate
but never show the hand.
Many seek a love affair
but hold a heart at bay.
Many simply must ensnare
but never show the play.
Many seek a close cartel
but fix another dream.
Many simply bid farewell
but never show the scheme.
Many seek a kind support
but give a slim concern.
Many simply aid extort
but never show the turn.
Many seek a trusty friend
but want a vantage gain.
Many simply just pretend
but never show the bane.
Many seek a true romance
but find real love is rare.
Many simply shadow dance
but never show the care.
