When dealing with a love-sick fool One must be strict and must be strong And follow this one simple rule Don't let them be a hanger-on One must be strict and must be strong To bring such foolishness to end And a new love then to begin And follow this one simple rule Say, "no", I know it's hard to do But all else just would not be true Don't let them be a hanger-on You must just say a quick good-bye No matter how I beg or cry

Ha! Great last line. We've all been there at one point or another. Love sick fools, especially when we were teens

You ruthless heart-breaker, you! LOL! ... Actually, I agree with you. The longer hopelessness lingers, the more damage is done!... That said, very glad I have not been involved in these kind of affairs of the heart for decades! ~ Mr. Happily Married

Your poem is a delightful one, Crystol, and your advice is worth listening too; your last stanza/end line are definitely impactful. ~ Best regards, my friend. // paul

Hi Crystol, Firstly All the best for the contest. Your poem is so true. Better to cut the 'hanger on' off and make room for a new love - Lol. I wish to show my appreciation on your comment on Tom's and my 'Mary Rodgers' video. My latest video 'Where is The Love Mamma' deals with a similar issue. Best watched on a big screen with full sound. Mobile is Ok too. Click on the image to take you to my Youtube channel. You are welcome to share on FB if you like - the world needs awareness. 'Beyond the Titanic' , the previous one is on a happier note. Maria PS I noticed you like Chihuahuas. We had two long haired ones at different times. Beautiful but feisty little creatures. Sadly when then the last one passed, we couldn't bring ourselves to get another.

Great poem, Crystol. I love the first line. It's great advice, but how often is it taken by stubborn love-sick fools - lol? Don't ask me how I know!

Ha! Was going for a drum beat at the end of the last line...badumdum... and at least a grin. Self deprecating humor.<3

It does... never a fun time. Although to remain able to laugh helps! It's good medicine to laugh at ourselves from time to time. Xoxo
