Too Old For Love

Experience has taught Lessons been learned Turned off that part That bad love had burned A strange attraction And unexpected call A spark of affection Won't make me fall It hurts too much Love is too cruel My soul is just kindling And hope is the fuel Not good enough! Never to win! Wasting my time All over again Run away, run away As fast as I can Pain dead ahead Not part of my plan Forever alone Safe from all harm Resisting the spell Cast by your charm Stop dreaming you fool Illusions must cease Alone is better Solitude's peace

Alone is peace but not as fun. Nicely done and understood, unfortunately

This poem had a sensuousness that sneaked up and surprised me; this always makes for a good poem, Ibohal.

"alone is better" so I think it is wise to "run as fast as you can" away from the pain. Well done! Nice Pen.
