Scorned

Woman Scorned – Portrait by Renette Van Niekerk

            Once was enough

            To have me fooled.

            I’m over it.

            My heartbeat cooled,

 

            Hardened by reason

            As it ought.

            I may have loved,

            But I shall not.

 

            Now beckons

            The reality of life.

            I craved adventure,

            Yours is strife.

 

            So as the night sky clears

            I’ll find yet

            Whence listless hunger’s end

            One can beget.
