Fake Flowers and Other Things

Buy yourself
fake flowers
and then
tell yourself they are real.
Relish in the fact that they
never die,
only collect dust and look
as fresh as the day you broke down
and bought them.
Buy yourself these
fake flowers
and tell yourself they are real,
that love never dies,
that things never change.
Live in that world
as it collects dust
and you put a smile on
that looks just as fresh as
the day before.
