Alas, Love has hurt me

[ 11-August-2023 02:15 people are such vile weak creatures, and yet there is some kindness in there. people are such kind creatures, and yet they are full of vile weakness inside. ]

Alas, love has hurt me
because people are fragile

i thought words and promises meant more
than social labels that society sanctions

but alas, love has hurt me
because people are fragile and weak

while the labels of society hold up
the scrutiny of time and accusations
promises crack away like sand castles on a beach
a vague uncertain memory of a schizophrenic mind

alas, trust has hurt me
because people are fragile, weak and forgetful
