Love for Sale

Love for sale
Once a year
Time to tell
A loved one dear
The one chance
To undying devotion confess
Rewards
When you least expect

Love for sale
To the gullible
Stable emotions deep
More than
Commercial tricks fellable
Promises ready
Love’s rewards happy
Gradually steady

Love for sale
Tokened
Relationships
More and more brokered
Innocence captured
Betrayal ruptured
Singular identities firm
Collective memories preserved
