Umm okay this poem was amazing okay wow.

A cynic's view on love and bliss

Every time
we went to get coffee at Joe's
Joe's wasn't called "Joe's, Of All the Places We'd Meet!"<-- Personally I don't really understand these lines but that's just me and I'm kinda dumb. But I would take it out and start the poem with the line below and so on.

Now every time
they skip down the sidewalk
I see the ants crushed by their feet.

And every time
he plucks her a flower
I see the stem shrivel behind.

And every time
her ring catches the light
I see the war around African mines.

And every time
a wooden alter is built
I see workers chopping the tree.

And every time
she turns to look in his eyes
I see her eyes turning from me. <-- These last lines killed me in a good way and it connected everything for me and I was in awe of this. Its relatable and heartbreaking and ugh I'm in love with it. Call me easy to please idc.
