Expel Those Bitter Pangs
Expel those bitter pangs of unrequited love
Lest the pungent taste of gall infest the soul,
And steal the joy unattended in your heart
For love that’s lost is seldom ever reclaimed.
By fast-held pining, sorrow, and crying spells
Consider how quickly your lover went away,
Likely, to embrace another with open arms
Shedding nary a tear nor suffering the loss.
