MINUTIA

The little things and the big things in love equally count.

You claim I get lost in the minutia
So I capitulate to the way that you feel
Then you discard the love I give freely
Without a price tag you claim it is not real

Your love is flauntingly ostentatious
It is designed to show others that you care
I was beguiled by your false dissimulation
You show emotion only when others stare

I have been living this lie of assimilation
I have settled for your superficial froth
While you claim I am blinded by the minutia
Searching in vain for a love that is lost

I need to find something real and pivotal
I need a lover that will give me their all
So whether it’s minute or prodigious in value
They will offer real love when I call

Those are excellent goals, Eddie. Sounds like that woman is definitely not for you. It's best just to move on and I can see you're already on your way. Good job.
