I saw him brawl in the blockbuster movie

I heard him chuckle in the interview

Head over heels but he never noticed

So I don’t talk about him anymore.


But one day his truth came out

Not a sound and no more photos

Now he’s gone and I can’t believe it

So I don’t talk about it anymore.


If luv were only ones and zeros 

What were angels of six and two?

If luv can not be for a wired hero

Where would that leave me & u?


If I had a supersonic steel bird

I’d fire up and high I flew

If I knew what he was up to

I’d see every inch of his tattoos.


Pretty voice and pretty faces

Faces that I’ve only seen

Pretty voice and pretty faces

Tell me what luv really means


He looks like the son of Zeus

Striking hearts and pulling sun

If this isn’t god’s only bijou

What are we mortals left to do?


If luv were only ones and zeros 

What were angels of six and two?

If luv should be touch and 

Where would that leave me & u?

This poem is about a hypothetical obsession with rock-hard idols that disperse all over social media, contorting the idea of love over teenagers.
