Cost of Lessons Learned

The lessons of life are hard-earned
when you find a love that doesn’t return.
Yet, this lesson of this week
of the soul mate I would seek…
I knew from the beginning
that it would go no where.
So does it really matter
that I knew he didn’t care?
A day or so ago my heart would have cried out,
from wounds of pain that I would shout.
Yet, somehow that’s not the case
and there’s no pain to erase.
The sun it shines so bright;
now no more petty fights.
When there is thought of loss
make experience the cost.
