Loved and Lost
Jan 22, 2023
They say it’s better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all.
It isn’t true.
The skirting worry
Flitting through the mind,
And wondering whether lost is lost,
Or whether they’ve no time to find.
It’s better to have loved and lost
Than knowing you had naught to lose.
That what you thought was something real
Was something that your love refused.
