Sting of Love

She calls to you,

her woes intensified by streaming tears.

She had gone down the wrong path.

Your heart, it wanders,

the core beating warm, lucid,

while the outside slowly chills.

To trust her again,

would it be foolish? or wise?

The loving care received accounted for,

you coldly shrug.

This life is but a glimpse of eternity,

And your heart has become ageless.

You’ve felt the sting of love.

You wish to thank her,

but your body won't allow it.

She'll never know how she helped you.

Your final lesson learned.

You cherish all the memories,

whilst letting slip away new opportunity,

because the sting of love is strident,

it need only be felt once,

and now, alone is how you'll stay.
