Romance X

A place setting for two
A dinner long since gone cold
The candles burned out days ago
Dead roses keeled over in a vase
The fireplace has empty ashes
The fire that once promised passion
Roses that used to promise romance
The bed with it's silken sheets
It's promise of sensuality broken
She will spend another night in it alone
Four broken promises
Three plus one more. He never came.

She waited so long with such hope in her heart

This is the thing called Romance

Somebody somewhere is laughing
