Artificial Love

They say 

“when something is too good to be true, it usually is”

How sad, that i use this in regards to you. 

Like a seedy salesman deal, if I buy one, ill get two. 

But your fine print

Reads like the bottom a receipt 

Or the end of a contract

Between you and me 

See I get to have you 

For the price of one 

But before I can read you 

The signature is done

It’s written in ink 

There is no erase 

I just bought in and

paid dearly for a taste 

Initially sweet 

With a bitter end 

I reached for sugar 

But got Splenda again
