There is no pain
But you need to feel again
A smile upon your face
As you live in the bliss of space
But you know that others are feeling gloom
And it’s time to allow your empathy to lean into doom
Your lover kisses you upon the lips
From your mouth, a moan slips
But instead of a joyous sound
Behind it, some dread abounds
As you force yourself to feel others’ dread
Over their relationships that are now dead
Let that tear slip from your eye
Even if you don’t want to cry
Because nothing ever lasts forever
And just because you’re now together
Doesn’t mean you won’t again join the world of singles
Where you’ll be left to mingle
With others carrying years of baggage and sadness
So let yourself feel the madness
Of a broken heart, even though you’re in love
Just because you now have a beloved
Doesn’t mean things will last forever
So don’t think that you will never
Need to mend and heal your heart
Now’s a great time for your feelings to start.
