It’s not that
the usual love songs
lose their flavor—

You just got so used to them—
that even the most romantic of
romance stories start to…
taste bland.

Your heart still beats—
but that’s all there is to it.
No magic—
no sweetness left…
to sugarcoat it.

"When the hero could no longer continue, who would save him?" The villain asked as he flaunted the hero he had grabbed by the neck.
