When you lose your heart

don’t let it lose your head

even in the agony

of a heartbreak

Don’t drown your pain

with short term measures

Don’t be loose

for fleeting pleasure

Don’t indulge in revenge

by seeking comfort

under the cover

from one lover to another

You may be floored

with more than you bargain for

with unwanted pregnancy

and questionable paternity

or getting the incurable STDs

because of your lack of judgement

in the heat of the moment

Have you not learned

from the mistakes of others

that problems do not disappear

by seeking comfort under the cover?

So, don’t ever lose your head

in the affairs of the heart

Don’t allow yourself

to be loose nor become a loser

for your dignity and self-worth

are priceless gems to treasure
