The big mistake is letting love leave, your own,
Sending it to somebody else. If trapped
Or lost inside another, it will groan
And not thrive there. It cannot be unwrapped
Once it is moaning in that other chest.
Do not allow your feelings to escape
And try to fill another human breast.
No heroine or hero in a cape
Will nurture it the way that it deserves.
It’s better to take their love for a spell
And torture it along your heartless nerves.
Let others have their agonies in hell.
..These others’ loves can howl along your veins.
….Those loves can suffer unrequited pains.
