The Heart Once Given Poem by Divya Macsuedon

They say the heart once given-is done.
Takes years to build a relation of a ton.
I see this change in the market today.
Hey you! You there, are  you for sale?
(As they say.)

What love is this, that changes sides,
Today it's you tomorrow-my pride.
'It's parents and careers that take your test..'
Why blame them so, when you both failed the test? .

The real love, it crosses the hurdles in it's paths.
Builds bridges, and connects the hearts.
So think I friend, you got carried away!
The snapchats, the connectivity, made your day.

For in fits and starts, love doesn't come. 
It sweeps you in it's path and takes you away!
If unrequitted it leaves devastation behind.
Nothing short of, the tsunamis of our times.

Rebuilding then is a mammoth task.
Takes years then to overcome the blast.

So, hello there! You're in the market so soon.
Looking out for a lady to build a cocoon.
Your ideas are shaky, your foundation weak.
The elders to guide you, themselves not complete.

Doesn't your story speak for itself..
'Fools rush in where angels fear to tread! '
Your feet, in two boats, don't plant them so.
That will only add and increase your woes.

Lucrative though, these markets may seem. 
It's best to keep away from this scene.

So listen then to the sages advice.
"Do give yourself, a few years respite.
Climb mountains, plan journeys,
Do what you most like.
A man's not a man till he's got his footing right.
Makes his own decisions to lead his own life."
