Triple the Pain
Double the hurt,
triple the pain
Break someone’s heart in two,
then feel the bleed
when someone else does it to you
A lesson in love causality,
an effective learning device
Single-minded selfishness —
send email note to soul:
The postman always rings twice
Ghetto poet Homie “Hardheat” Homer declares:
The bat missing the ball,
always swings thrice
Double the hurt,
triple the pain
Break an innocent heart in two,
then feel the pulse stillness
of the empty pulmonary blue
When the Golden Rule pendulum returns
and sever flatline weeping heart you
