The Pit

So what is love? A kiss, a touch, a state of mind; A fickle glance, a poet’s line. An unending pit of shame Into which sordid passions rain. A “forever” love I’ll never claim. But wait… Who comes and passes by? He stops and looks back, enticingly shy. He beckons, I follow~~~ Watch out! The Pit!! Too late… I fall to meet the bottom.
