A POEM ON THE FRAGILITY AND MORTALITY OF LOVE

Again, this poem was written long ago. I've just unearthed it from my old writings. It was written in free verse. I guess at that time, I hadn't focused on practicing writing rhymed lines.

Overall, the idea is poorly developed. I just write what I feel right, and rarely feeling right makes things shine. Whatever it is, I'll put it here as a source for studying the evolution of my poetical skills.

Humbly yours!
