like bad poetry and hallmark cards

I always knew that everything
everyone said
about relationships
was just
a bunch of
platitudes.

but now that I am
embarking on one,
(barely ankle-deep)

it's funny.

I can already tell you
every ounce of that
schmaltzy crap
is true.

and even though
I am not in love,

and even though
I am not enjoying
succumbing
to those very-same
platitudes.

I will not lie:

I'm enjoying
every cliché
minute of this.

(forgive my hypocrisy-
I know I'm no love poet)
