I hate hearts please don't have one 
I wish you wouldn't call me I'm not waiting 
by the phone by the light of the clock 
in fact I'm really busy right now 
describing things that takes a lot of time 
you'd be surprised how much drinking 
& looking out the window it requires 
there's not much room for anything else 
all I need is a closet really a little space 
for a shoe & I can live on crackers 
no problem I love crackers are you eating 
some now what do they taste like are you taking
them in your mouth then kissing
my princess I remain your sickening servant

Angelina Mazza considers the romance novel’s mainstream moment: β€œRomance can do all those things, too, but its primary goal is pleasure and satisfaction and enjoyment. I think we struggle, as a culture, to see that as a valuable way to spend your time.”
