From Paris With Love

I LOVE PARIS

I LOVE PARIS (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

The words spoke ‘with love’
But cut like a shard
Meaningless words
On a gilt-edged card

From Paris with love
So perhaps it is true
It was love from a city
And nothing from you

Not words of a lover
Not words from the heart
No lingering sadness
While we were apart

The words lied ‘with love’
Still hitting too hard
Meaningless words
On a gilt-edged card
