Why did I fall in love so hard?
A queen was dealt within the cards.
It’s an old story often told,
I stepped right in and I was bold.

Then things began to fall apart,
Things which bored into both our hearts.
I fear everything is now gone,
I’ll be happy when I’m reborn.

Love only works for two
But for one to love
Is one too few.


This little poem is no consolation, I know friend.
But to often the truth is so damn hard for us to swallow.

That may be, Cari, but I am doing my best to swallow it.

Appreciate your kindness.

I too can relate, especially to that last line, thanks for the read.

Thanks Pete, the last line is what it's all about, but I think you know that.
