My heart's thoughts...

Once Bitten, Twice Shy -- By -Emptiness-

Spare me a moment,
And an open ear.
I’ve got some sound advice,
If you’re willing to hear.

Never fall in love,
Nor open up your heart.
Because if you do,
You’d just be torn apart.

But liking someone,
Cannot be controlled.
If that is the case,
Don’t say you were not told.

But do not fret,
Nor lose all hope,
If you can’t help,
But fall in love.

Just heed this word,
I’m about to stress:
Never fall in love,
With a pretty lass.

There’ll be much pain,
And suitors galore.
Even if she loves you,
The rest are hard to ignore.

Especially when she’s nice,
And tries not to break a heart.
But the problem is,
You’ll fear that she’ll depart.

And if she doesn’t leave,
And sticks with you throughout,
She’ll still compare you,
With the other louts.

And even if there are none,
And you’re the only one.
Her ex-boyfriends alone,
Will make you feel outdone.

What makes me say all this?
I’m just your next-door guy.
But as the saying goes,
“Once bitten, twice shy”.
