The Curse of First Love

Once Alexandria cursed Nathan,

‘May you love someone so much as I do you and, may she betray you the same way you betrayed me, and then you will feel the burn all around, all the way.’

Nathan did not realize that this curse was lifelong,

Now, in every person he looks for her-

In every interactions he searches the familiar warmth and privilege he once had.

Alexandria too never found love-

The soul entrenching love that she craved.

Both are forty five and in different cities now-

Loveless, childless, and homeless.
