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
