Dear Heart,
Don’t tell me you’re falling for strangers again.
I’m still healing from the threads of past pain—
I need no more.

Stop this nonsense;
You can’t take another dose of sorrow.
I beg you,
Release me from this suffering.

He doesn’t even know who I am.
Don’t be a fool.
He seems like an angel from heaven,
And I, just a toad by the riverbank.
