"Online Dating"

Cute faces
within
databases
tend to
siege
the average
level of
intrigue...
Accost it
Commandeer it
and steer it
into an
electronic oblivion...
Oh those glamour
shots
hit the
spot when
sore eyes
have previously
been deprived...
-BUT BE ADVISED-
Anyone can snatch
a picture from
anywhere
Place it
Label it
and swear
it's them...
-THE NEXT MINUTE-
You exchange the
digits...
The voice is
so soothing
like caramel
syrup smoothing
itself over
a DQ vanilla cone...

Your current destination
with this person
is unknown, but
The right things
are said
and you've been
led to believe
that you've
met your human
reprieve...
-WHEN YOU FINALLY MEET-
Your words are:
What the...?!
How in the...?!
Who the...?!?

"Murder Love"

When the
gettin's
are good,
it's understood
that the
euphoric vibe
seems like it'll
never die...

But ohhh,
when the feeling
does finally subside
turning tides
tend to ride
our hearts and
minds right
to the grave...
Enslaved are
we to the lonely
phantoms who
lurk sheepishly
and wait
patiently for
the opportunity
to cast
darts at an ailing
heart...

..don't play with love...
'cause when it plays with
you...the game is over...
