If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it goes the popular refrain
A proven technique to ameliorate wanton grief and pain
But matters of the heart don’t correspond to this universal norm
There exists neither balm nor benevolence to tinker with or lend some calm
A tablet for sleeping; to bring one to the here and now
Alas! No medicine has yet been invented – and never will – to deal with the woes of love.

Nice. We do find this is true. Best not be a tinkerer with love 🙂
Indeed!
🙂
To quote J. Geils: “Love Stinks.”
To quote Johnny Van Zant: “Been there, done that, never going back there again.”
Ha ha ha! How I wish I can say that as well!
All is fair in love and war – no balms for that turmoil!
True–nicely written!
Thanks a million!
Welcome, a billion! 🙂
