What Is the Secret

How does one
Turn off love?
Is it like a light switch?
Is there a love switch?

How does one
not feel the pain?
What is there to do
When they choose freedom?

How does one
trust that the next love
won't end the same?
Won't leave you again in agony?

How does one
begin anew?
Trust once more?
Love again???
I don't think I can.
