Should I hold out my heart, and try again?
Or hold it tight, locked safely within?

Do I dare to trust, to hope once more?
Or hide in terror, battered and forlorn?

I trusted once, one who was a friend.
To be there till the very end?

Promises were made, never to be kept.
My mind was broken, and my soul wept.

Yet I never seem to learn my lesson.
I can again back for another session.

Again I was ripped. Again I was torn.
Once more made to wish I’d never been born.

I retreated, broken and defeated.
My dreaming was depleted, determined this would not be repeated.

That I would stay apart, live on alone.
Love was foolish, desire now forsworn.

Yet I’ve struggled to not once more try my luck.
Will it end in despair? Probably. for life does suck.
