Loneliness breeds bitterness

I know this to be true.

Resent, utter regret and the deepest hatred

All inwardly begins to brew.


Anger burns the embers

Stirring the damaged goods stew.

It was you and then me.

In retrospect, it was all a mistake.

I can see.


Such a harsh realization

To learn the absolute truth

Of invaluable wasted time.

How uncouth to presume naivete

Of any kind.


Despite it all,

I know I'd want to try to grow in love once more.

So, go ahead and feel sorry for yourself.

Then, let it pass through you.
