A good reminder, yeah

To those who have been heartbroken twice, thrice

I’ve had my share of these old flames’ return

And oh boy!

Was I not been burnt but engulfed in flames!

You believed them, the second time, and again,

burnt you again

Whatever for?

Why did you let  them enter your gullible heart again?

Say those titillating words (again) and again

Why entertain them again for what they did to you

the first time?

I am at a loss for words

I’m gullible, trusting, lovesick, a romantic person

I cannot, for the life of me, give reasons for the

whys, whats, whens, and whatevers

I believe that when they come back –

it’s destiny, we’re fated, the Divine intervened!

But who am I kidding?

If they did it the first time, why not a second

or a third?

Yet I’m not a lost cause.

I am aware of the heartaches, of the pains, aches

and unhappiness

Please bear with me

I am learning, and learning, and learning

Just bear with me

I can look at the ashes more clearly now.

Never, really never

(Ashes blown away by the wind…good riddance)
