The Right Girl
It’s all about finding the right girl.
The right girl who makes you forget about the may mornings of your past.
Who nullifies your need for the stratosphere by force feeding you fulfilment.
Who colonises your once impermeable morals and coverts them into nothing but trade.
Who robs you of your ambition by tainting your most sacred dreams with the smell of her breath.
The right girl, who can obliterate every aspect of your personality until you are just a vessel in which she resides.
Who perverts your love of nostalgia and turns it into a crippling fear of a time that came before your consumption.
It’s all about finding the right girl.

Hmmmm, don't know whether I 'like' this or not.
This poem certainly has some memorable lines and a different take on the expectation of the first line...
But, do I like the ideas here - no matter how well they're expressed?
I did like: "...nullifies your need for the stratosphere by force feeding you fulfillment."
and: "...tainting your most sacred dreams with the smell of her breath."
and: "...a crippling fear of a time that came before..."
So many clever expressions, but as a girl - I'd hate to think I ever did that to my lover.
