Death of a Romantic (poem)

I feel so insignificant,
a writer trapped in thoughts of love
while hurricanes destroy homes,
and nuclear tensions escalate.

Love is an easy topic,
but the romantic in me is dying
so may it rest in peace
as the flames of war consume me.

I have known love's madness
too many times already -
I'm tired of repeating the same story,
meet, love, heartbreak, repeat.

Let romance be burned from my mind
so my words can venture forth
into worlds unknown,
into a conflict worth fighting.

-Zero
