Because

Because I’m a hopeless romantic
I came to love’s door
at sunset
with a blooming bouquet of demands
and candy-coated expectations
air-tight
(to keep my ripened heart from rotting in the sun)
but I knew she
wasn’t impressed
by my gallant stab at chivalry
when she opened the door
wearing one of those looks
that says,
“maybe you should have brought roses”
