Love After Dark

A dark poem about love as a movie genre.

Love is victimology at its finest

Crimes of passion
Fill this film noir

Love is such an ungodly thing
That you might only
Ponder it seriously
After dark

With a glass of wine

You may need a full bottle
When you go confront
The ghosts of betrayal
In the alleys
After dark
After dark

Love has claimed
Many a victim among those who
Went out after dark

After dark
After dark

Make sure your gun is well stashed
Deep inside the drawers
Tucked among the bedsheets
When you go on
Pondering love
After dark
