Ever since Romeo and Juliet
Repulsed lovers have considered suicide
As just an offshoot of unrequited love-
Even if the love was refused from the start
Or only existed as a delusion in the mind of the deluded.
I suggest that in modern life
What with plastics, antibiotics, and all this stuff
We have other options to the suicide-only impulse
And since murder practically rules this age,
Maybe you should take out the offensive love withholder, instead.
That would leave you free-
Free for another unsatisfying relationship
To help you remember you don't think
You're of any worth; and once in prison you would be surprised
How many would hurl themselves down to worship at your infamous feet.
Aaahhh yes....but never do we stop to think that once we let go trying to possess Love...we are free of the pain we think it brings! Interesting take here Patti....your mind is florescent!
Even if the love was refused from the start Or only existed as a delusion in the mind of the deluded. appreciated.10. shan
