Love Is Rare…

when
love is lost
the world
can
go to hell.
it’s better
if you never
had it in the
first place
because
then
you don’t
know what you
missed.

Some are born to move the world
To live their fantasies
But most of us just dream about
The things we’d like to be
Sadder still to watch it die
Than never to have known it
For you, the blind who once could see
The bell tolls for thee
