The words on the packet
Like mocking laughs
Perfect for sharing
With your other half
I scoff as I open it
Toss the contents aside
Preheat the oven
As the packet describes
Soon the light clicks
The oven is ready
I put the food in
But my heart is heavy
For now I must wait
And I laugh to myself
For heating up food
Is like love itself
There are instructions
Love takes time to bloom
For a while it’s just right
But it is always doomed
Lasagne for two
Well just an hour ago
That would have been perfect
You just never know
