They say you’re supposed to learn from mistakes,
Repeating them is insane,
But with all the things that have taken place,
My heart is full of pain.
They say you’re supposed to let things go,
But that’s a contradiction,
Because you’re supposed to live and learn,
Not subject yourself to the same affliction.
So now what am I supposed to do,
Having been wounded by every lover?
Put up walls and lose someone like you,
Or keep on struggling to recover?
J. N. Ross Poetry
