Where's my courtly love?
I recollect catching couples in contact, some in concern
But Valentine's in Colorado is quiet with a flushed vesper
Lady Day sings "Good Morning Heartache"
She's all ears to my Achilles-heel, my weakened knees
Thither is no dream date
Instead I'm tethered to theories of thou at the mall
Building a bear, tailored for two soulmates
Where's my courtly love?
Everyone's met themselves a local crush come true
The crickets croon too
Like distant repentance and second guesses
Longing for l'amour that looks like you
You already got so and so to serenade with cafe 1930
With bow lifts and flicks of lashes
A flawless essence I may not possess
But I don't dearth enough
For someone to not fancy my royal prestige
I'm by-no-means suffering but I feel as a forlorn town
With rich history but a damned route
Where's my rainbow and dove?
In the thick of this flood
Ne'er spell dried in brine from the eye
Still, my veins spur with sprees of hemoglobin
To pigment a patch of cheek
Still, twas I but tis not I lighting a match to a love letter I recovered
Misplaced a name and betwixt the wrong hands
Minutes I miss sans a significant other
Whilst this prom, where's a chevalier?
Before the break of day and Valentine racks restart as catnap covers
Which prod me to renew to boot
In the light of relations going amiss, I may take up amour propre as no one's someone
Because I'm not desperate sufficient to assume a random
I'll forward my last paycheck to the marriage broker and agency
"Since intimacy has no twain to romanticize"
Says this solitaire game, willingly
