A Valentine's Day Po-Em

If you loved me
as you profess you do
you would not send red roses to my place of employment.

If you loved me
as you profess you do
you would not buy me a card
versed with the sentiment
of generic prose.

If you loved me
as you profess you do
I would not come home
To a rose petal
R
A
I
L
that leads to the bedroom

If you love me
if you really for really love me
you would instead
just leave seventy-five dollars
in cash
on the kitchen table.
