the Pact

Once upon a Frosty Friday
In the merry month of May

Cool poem. Means a little something to me as one who has always been unlucky in love.

Hi Cie, Yes I know what you mean. Love can be one of those double-edged swords that really hurts if you clasp it too tightly. It can also be something that heals all wounds. Thanks for your comments, Cheers, MM
