1. "To weep the tears that never learn"
Love has always been an elusive, unattainable feeling,
and yet, its absence is like a gaping wound in need of healing;
a hurt that continues to burn.
Lust is a concept that you are intimately acquainted with,
lauded by every silver-tongued Romeo and clever wordsmith;
as for love, they spoke out of turn.
You fantasize about being in love and what it must feel like,
some say it's magic, while others compare it to a lightning strike;
love's given, not something you earn.
From an early age, you've understood pain, hate, fear, and rejection,
but you were never exposed to genuine love or affection;
and that is a cause for concern.
Destiny has chosen a hurting heart; time has broken and worn,
never to know how it feels to be loved; for you were cursed when born;
to weep the tears that never learn.
