Modern Love Online Poem by John Florio

Of late love is done on social lines
As maggots infest the rotten meat;
Rushly, they make their valentines,
Failed to control their hearts beat.
They begin their love, but on mind,
End with a block, no traces to find.

Their sweet 'Hi' then turns to sorry,
Contented to play with your heart;
You are left with the pain and story,
To suffer till your world falls apart.
The more you cry, the more it pains,
Cannot be cured, forever it remains.

You believe them beyond the limit,
Till you hand over the key of door;
One who misuses it, will ne'er befit,
But is sure to left worse than before.
Your crying aloud that no one hears,
Though your heart is soaked in tears.

For one who you keep nights awake,
Sharing deeply what you feel inside;
The very one puts your heart at stake,
And on true love, they start to deride.
Who's innocent and who's to blame?
Their conditions are never the same.

Whom you trust, plays the field most,
Even guards your actions every time;
In fact, they don't care if you're lost,
Counting on them, all of your prime.
Slowly, you understand what love is...
After cherishing in the spurious bliss.

The night falls again, but gets darker,
Even no light is seen all around you;
Then you get remember your Creator,
To beg happiness when you are blue.
You learn to live happily ever after -
Being all alone, you are lonely, never.
