At What Price – Love?

Never expected it.

Not like this.

Sudden.

Do not want it.

Not so soon.

Go away.

Can’t let go now.

It’s in place.

Stay.

When love goes

What follows?

Choices?

Never expected it.

Not like this.

A hasty thing.

Do not like it.

It’s too abrupt.

Wait.

Can’t let loose.

Memories

Linger.

We paid the price.

Expensive.

Priceless.

Never expected it.

Not like this.

Saddened.

At what price -- love?

A heart in two

Forever.

-- A little poem for anyone who has loved any person for any reason, in any way, and paid the price.
