a cautionary tale

 

“one of the best result of life is the torment of love”.

 

 

 

shouldn't it hurt when you lose in love,

 

like an aching heart

 

when something is wounded?

 

 

 

but isn’t losing the first actual sense of being alive

a newborn will cry when that suckling teat is taken away

 

 

 

the sudden perversion of unfinished passion

 

how will hunger, not crave?
while we try to repair with our expert rituals:

we try to understand, going through the motion of haunted apathy

 

 

 

where is the logic to ever stop wanting?

 

would the choice be to imagine pleasure
too feel for the longed-response
that will mingle with the need for warmth

and touch

and care

 

 

 

or is the pain just imagined?

 

I loved or was it just instinct

 

was it you that turned to me when you needed?
is it a choice?

 

or just a mirage of a lesson?

2 Lose is 2 Live

At least that is a part of a perpetual experience for all of us, whethere by death or leaving, by choice, by happenstance or design - the loss rendered in verse is priceless remembering - Just Bein' Stella
