Love is none but pain and sorrow,
Love is grief and tears.
Love is poison that affects you
Slowly through the years.
Once love gets a hold on you,
It won't set you free.
Love is fatal happiness.
Love is not for me.
She and I were just good friends,
And then became much more.
I started feeling things for her
I never felt before.
Dark eyes promising return…
That's the last I'd see.
Then it was I realized
Love is not for me.
To see and love her once again-
That dream can't come true.
The truth confirmed she married off-
That's not what made me blue.
To hold her in my arms once more-
That can never be.
Grief is mortar for my loss.
Love is not for me.
Loneliness is my companion;
We will never part.
Time explains how none can mend
This my broken heart.
Love will permanently scar you.
Love's a parody
Of happiness and loneliness.
Love is not for me.

Mama’s Boy
I’ve been a fiancé for four years and three months. We’ve been together for six and a half years total, and we have a two-month-old son together. I can’t help but think that we’ll never get married. We haven’t even decided on a wedding date. When I bring it up, he tries to escape the room as if he’s late for something more important.
