A Cruel Mistress

Love - She's not an easy mistress:
She scorns, She scars,
She gives much stress.

A lover oft seen, are they loved
As a lover seldom seen?
No and yes:

For a lover seldom seen is
Missed - painfully, heart-wrenchingly -
So that when reunions happen,

Their love is rekindled, as if new,
Stronger because of the pains and scars
Now healed, stronger lovers reunite.

Love - She hurts while pleasuring,
She takes pleasure in pain of
Us being apart once more without

Comforting glances or loving caresses
In times of sorrow or need, none,
But think of the joy of seeing you,

As if for the first time again
When Time, Fate, and Love
(The cruel mistresses)
Allow our love once more.
