The Sad Refrain

A Nonet Poem

By Steve MurphyPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Love at first sight like a Beatles' song,

Turning heads wherever they go.

"Perfect Match," Lovely Couple."

Then comes the night she drops

the bomb: "It's too soon,

I love you, but..."

"Only the

lonely..."

Right?
