Twice I felt my heart over joyed
twice I felt my heart destroyed
why does it still beat?
twice I met the love of my life
twice I only felt the knife
why do I feel like a piece of meat?
twice I felt like it would go forever
twice I saw it could never
now I have taken with conceit
feels like my life is lost
but 'tis the cost
playing the game of love beyond the mete
now to my life so true
now my pain is to be through
for life is to be replete!
Author notes
The third line of every stanza, ghosts a poem within a poem.
This is option 2:
breakups with someone you thought you be with forever
mete: line that defines a boundry
replete: to fill to satisfaction
