The (Failed) Education of Romance

Can you blame humanity,
For their terrible behavior,
In the name of love?

After all, their education in the subject,
Has been failed and flawed,
And they know nothing about it.

Their first role models are their parents,
Who fight and are riddled with flaws,
And just seem nonsensical together.

They then turn to our romantic stories,
Where if you were to act upon what they teach,
You’d end up in prison.

And the only way to learn,
Is to fail so many times,
You eventually get it right.
