Love Story

Tell the story
of life, liberty and the pursuit,
fill it with glory
start at the roots.

She loved
he loved
they loved
we loved.

Chapters whiz by
and pages become a blur
as the truth unfolds
about another love spurned.

Temptations are resisted
to flip to the end
but the plot is failing
and I can't remember when
I started this story
or what compelled me to keep reading.

Back in the stack
the dust gathers
and the memory of chapter three
escapes me.
The theme continues
in every chapter of every book I read
pursuing happiness, life and liberty.
Where is the love?
