What's the suggested retail price of
.....affection?.....

The APR
on times
..... investment?.....

..well..

At the rapid rate,
that emotions inflate

I presume
this
warrants a debate

----------

In a world full of instant gratification indulgers,
while needy eyes peruse potential relationship racks,

''what exactly am I searching for?'
'...one, should ask

Durability a factor?
Manufactured to endure many a' wear and tear,
mean much these days?

Or

Do such prerequisites,
no longer matter?
Its whatever is the present fashion craze?

Do alleged '' grown folk''
still worry about the
I'll-wear-whatever-fits-in, phase?

...one would be amazed...

longing for that souls wardrobe staple,
to complete their ''look'', feverishly scanning exposed sleeves,
hasty-ness coerces many to snatch up the first one viewed,
with heart already attached

[- how convenient is that? -]

Never checking the size,
no clue of its ''fit'' potential.
Toss it over your shoulder ..''yeah, this'll work ''

Mad dash made to ''completion'' register,
wallet out,
ready to pay the commitment clerk

=====
_Question_

Did you even look at the price tag?

Read the care instructions and notice this love garment requires special attention?

...or were you...

In too much of rush...

...to find an emotional crutch?

That ole reliable,
''go to'' accessory,
no need to dry clean

The one consistent accompaniment,
equivalent to a woman's basic black dress,
on which you can always lean...?
=====

And so...
you bring it home.
Get -that- call, plans for the night, in tact.

Shower,
ready to conquer the club,
ends, always well stacked.

Reach for the earlier days purchase......
" oh ssshhhhiiiiitttttt!''

..''it''
.
doesn't
.
quite
.
fit..

Damn! (( you're thinking ))
-- I'll still get my use of it --

-----

Had you have been a smart shopper,
forgot about the almighty dollar
and used some common c[s]ents[e]

..you may have noticed..

I take some getting used to, not unlike an acquired taste

N'

Are you that vain
that a few sentimental stray stitches are undone?
And now you want to sum your purchase up as a ''waste''

When

All I need is a little tlc,
and the flaws in me,
can be embraced

Let me guess
....I...
can be replaced?

--

So what,
if I appear to need a little adjusting,
don't forget I allowed you to bend and stretch me to suit your liking

"my King"


N'

Don't let selective memory,
Omit the countless times I was the only ''she'',
to properly
cover the width of broad, toting the world, back


oOoh...you forgot that fact

N'

my my my

Let us not forget,
how I,
was the sole material
capable
of catching the countless tears you cried,
the only blend that absorbed at a rapid enough rate

To catch 'em all
as quickly as
they fell from your face

The only loyal linen concerned
enough to never permit them to flood within him,
And drown a destructive soul

Mm...only then...did I make your emotional wardrobe, whole...?

Now you tirelessly want to dig through the trashcan in search of the receipt?

What if the fine print,
a haphazard you,
missed,
stating it, I, was non-refundable..and God forbid, you actually couldn't return it

Actually had to get dirtied in the grit,
and when things got tough,
you actually had to get muddy and sort through shit

...t[w]o-
gether?

Why...I never!

Could imagine

Or

Even fathom

...such a concept

Like

No abandoning,
nor neglect

Of a garment
whose tag clearly read
.. ''imperfect'' ..
And
You'd have to work with it
to get beyond that,
make the ''find'' worth it,
for,
you'll then, discover, the ''beauTy''

I suppose
that'd be too much like right,
and labeled ''consumer cruelty''

..matter of fact..

Take me back!

I love,
the only way, I know how
...with my all,
and its too hefty of a price to pay

..nowadays..

I suppose if I bared
no Affect
it would Effect me differently
'cuz the cost of being careLESS,
well, that shits free
and much like many buyers and buyees
i'd care neither way

I'd rather just hang here,
'til the coast is clear,
and a purchaser appears
to actually care,
what they acquire...and only then, will I not apply, my
.
.resistance.

Is the effect of displaying love affect, affordable?

Not to I, any longer
.
.....
.
.indifference.
