  'when we *lose* someone
  who is precious to us
  hate is born.'
  but then, dear thoughtful poet
  kindly explain
  if 'Love', is the cause of Pain
  what of all the people in the world
  suffering, for 'lack of love' - alone?
  (love only equates, to pain
  when 'Pride' - warps, its meaning
  by assuming, 'Love'
  is that which we perceive it, to be
  but, we already know
  from our years
  of awaiting love's presence
  in our lives
  that 'True Love', is beyond
  our capacity to comprehend
  and label
  why else, would all the music and poetry
  in the world be about love, and yet
  we're still nowhere near, capable
  of conceiving its various, iterations...)
  no, I think it more likely
  'Pain' is our way, to handle the loss
  of love
  because we know, we're incapable
  of living without it, once
  we've experienced it;
  'Pain' is our coping methodology
  for the loss of 'Love', but
  its not caused by love
  its caused by the absence of love
  and the inevitable awakening
  of solitude's loneliness
  in our lives...
  blaming love for that, is akin
  to blaming your heart
  'for loving': in the first place...
