SLAP

The first slap of love

is a heartbreaker,

but then,

so is the last.

Said with such brevity. You pack a punch here, dear Vol. Yes, it certainly feels like that and I nursed the sting for what felt like an eternity.

Divya,
Oh sweetheart... it is a good thing I am not allergic to stings... I'd take all of them again, though, walk away richer, and better for them.

Love can be a heartbreaker whenever the slap comes…it stings our soul and leaves us in a dark place… so no matter which slap it is still burns for a long time…..a short but very meaningful play on words

And the pain is slow to subside...

I would definitely have to agree to both. Love can be a heartbreaker.

Love doesn't have teeth, she has fangs... her venom sweet.

Well some of us ladies and some gentlemen do bite lmao I particularly enjoy both biting and being bitten but oh I regress.

Love is not for the faint of heart or fragile spirit. It swoops in like a hawk after prey and we are taken away without realization. Then dropped from the clouds when it has ended either in relationship or earthly. Neither are easy!!

Ha! That's funny! We have so much in common, I enjoy all the nibbling I can give, or get, as well... All poets do...

I’m glad you found the seriousness and humor in this as well

PB,
When you put serious and humor under the same sheets, beauty happens...

I would have to agree very much so.
