What is the price
of paradise?
Think twice.
Be precise.
Love is against the law.
A fatal flaw.
Feelings will thaw.
A growing gnaw.
That will eat your soul.
Take its toll.
What is the cost
of people lost?
Double crossed.
Tossed out the door.
In a boat
with no oars.
Washed up.
On the shore.
Of a paradise
of yore.
