You'll never be rich
You'll never be poor
You'll never be a virgin
And you'll never be a whore
You'll never get to heaven
You'll never go to hell
You'll never learn right from wrong
Because there's nothing there to tell
You'll never know the word "happy"
Though lonely is an old friend
You'll never start at the beginning
Or finish at the end
You'll never have the courage of a coward
Even though you've tried in vain, now and then
Words are just rhymes without reason
Because you have lost at love again
(C) 1988 "Broken Windows"

Another good poem about "Lost Love" but I too, didn't like the part in the beginning, in reference to hell, Heaven and the words that I don't normally see in your poems. This poem was very different than your other ones, as you seem to write this one with more anger, which is fine. That is an emotion that we all have and you did use that to it's best advantage, to describe how you felt at the time. We are all filled with emotions, both good and bad and that's part of life for all of us. So your poem puts that feeling into this poem very well. I do agree that we all need some form of love in our life also.
God Bless,

Be always safe,

How true in your poem, without love, we cease to feel. Wonderfully written.
