Don't do it! Not once .. Regardless of the joy that fuels you, The anticipation that fools you, That thing that urges you on .. All wrong! To risk, to feel, to say "I love you" And have him respond, "but I'm a scalded duck" And, sinking, You know he doesn't trust Your balm for his particular burn .. Your panacea for his particular pain, Or that you've been scalded too. Don't do it! Not twice .. Keep it on ice. When you've felt nothing for so long And then you do, you remember Why you felt nothing for so long.

This was written as a series of three frantic "morning after" poems. They all speak for themselves. LOL
