I wanted to cry, but I lacked the energy
So I decided to write
Too weak is the heart that resides within me
To put up much of a fight
It, true, did break when I heard the news
And my smile turned into a frown
Too bitter sweet were the adieus
But I couldn't long stay down
Too many muscles to maintain a scowl
Too much pain for tears that cling
Too much time spent, when all the while
I could be doing better things
Though pessimism runs through my veins
I could be thinking better thoughts
Instead of dwelling on the endless pains
That bring all hope to naught
We, 'tis true, are over; yet
I do love you still
And I refuse to have regret
For all that never will
Regret and hate too much energy cost
And I can't quite unearth it
Mourning over a love that's lost?
I don't quite think it's worth it
~Kori
Inspirational Poem: Song in Spite of Myself by Countee Cullen
Never love with all your heart
It only ends in aching
And bit by bit to the smallest part
That organ will be breaking
Never love with all your mind
It only ends in fretting
In musing on sweet joys behind
Too poignant for forgetting
Never love with all your soul
For such there is no ending
Though a mind that frets may find control
And a shattered heart find mending
Give but a grain of the heart's rich seed
Confine some under cover
And when love goes, bid him God-speed
And find another lover
(A word or two may be off on this. I was reciting it from memory. >.>)
