Servants To Tradition

About how the pre-conceived rules and stereotypes found in love can have a negative impact on people

All my days I see scriptures of love

Played out before a clichéd backdrop

Perpetrating the same old stereotype

As if I haven't the weight of the world already

As if I haven't already suffered enough

I wake up from troubled dreams

Reading electronic pledges of dedication

But we all see it as an ego boost

But I'll just suppress a sigh and roll my eyes

Love is a safe option, but you're never free

I feel like I'm the only one

Who isn't a slave to tradition

I may have had romance in my heart

But this cynical world

Demanded it's extradition

Whirlwind romance

Clearing out the dust

Leaving us all ruined in it's wake

The movie prom night dance

We're behind the lights

All empty hopes, all of it fake

Detached from the scene, the wedding begins

Where love ends, and battle commences

Rehashed monologues of devotion

Shoddily acted as I fall asleep

As if I haven't suffered for my sins

I really liked this one and I can relate to this as well. Interesting and clever wordcraft, emotions well-portrayed. ;)

This does read a bit like a song. I would like to hear it sung, or spoken, to music. You write about an old chestnut of a subject but it does not seem too played out! Keep writing!

Love, eh? Just one f*****g thing after another.
