A Cure for A Heartbreak

Whatever he tried before failed,
misery is worse a pain so sharp;
the therapist scratches his head,
and the patient who plays the harp,
looks at him with much dissent:
suppressing his internal lament!

" Is there a cure for a heartbreak bitter that wine?
Did this naive teen fall in love too soon?
Did he break every rule and turn into a buffoon?
Can even a lonely one be on a cloud nine? 
Mom says, " You should wait
and live you innocent years to avoid regret;
raising a family is a hard task,
only fools, without any wisdom, take this risk. "

" Is there a cure for a heartbreak bitter than wine? "
Shouldn't love be all joy especially for the young
who explore new horizons humming a sweet song?
Is a crush an irresistible impulse to draw a line
and not be sorry for an unintentional mistake
that led me to a commitment of a lifetime?
