David's Dilemma
The relationship began in a passion of lust.
It appears that the love became real later on;
but the price of the love affair was most costly.
He was not offered the luxuary of a good choice
Sands were set in stone, and the die had been cast
There would be nothing for which he could rejoice
The thrill was gone; the pain would not quickly pass
