Love's Greatest Costs Are Pangs of Deepest Remorse
Love's Greatest Costs Are Pangs Of Deepest Remorse
Life is not all love, sweet fun and joyous games
nor pure enjoyment seeing dawn's early rise.
Sometimes it may be our deeds revealed that shames
and cost us dearly, our heart's most precious prize.
Lost love is fast fleeing and elusive beast,
armed with sharp daggers and even deeper lies.
If returned, offers us a sumptuous feast,
of rarest delights and reclaimed cherry pies.
Ah, but to recover bright golden treasures,
one often endures hard blows and sharper cuts.
Sacrifices offered in painful measures,
one may win the prize but others think us nuts!
Love's greatest costs are pangs of deepest remorse.
Which avoiding, would mean no loving of course!
