Valediction: On Time and Love (Part I. Pain)

by HansRik   Sep 16, 2005


Time's a liar, in whom I trusted much
And love has now betray'd my sense as well.
Oh, why! The Pain of Love is sorrowful.
The torture, time has caused is more than Hell.

For love itself is death and pain,
Which Time does caress, with futility
Filling with hopes, the man who believes,
Leaving the lover, to cry, an eternity.

And time betrays the man who loves,
And love betrays the man who trusts.

For he who loves is doomed to cry, in pain,
And he who cries has loved too much, in vain.

    This again, HansRik, truly wonderful. Realistically, I agree with you and what you mean by most of your emotions towards how love can be and how its outcomes are awfully surprising at times. Once again, great writing and keep it up!

    Much love and God bless,

    And time betrays the man who loves,
    And love betrays the man who trusts.

    And he who cries has loved too much, in vain.
