how does it work?
it just happens
it might last for years, or days
or months, or weeks, you never know
why not?
oh, because it's unpredictable
it's inappropriate and often unwanted, unbidden
to stagnant feelings that would rather sit and fester
can you get rid of it?
only time can, and perhaps the help from other people
though it might come up again, and then you have
quite an issue on your hands
what will happen if it doesn't go away?
suffering occurs, deep within oneself
it feels like a wire tightening around your health
squeezing the blood from your heart,
spilling out as though nature intended
you'll find another, this concept is open-ended
but she --
but nothing, young man
learn from your mistakes, do not focus upon them
make more of yourself from them, don't make this pain
your eternal emblem
