Experience

With experience comes wisdom.
But love should be the ultimate
rule-breaker, right?
When the person you choose
is the person who sets every
emotion you have on fire
and stokes the flames with a glance.

That’s when experience counts
for nothing, and feeling is what
carries you through.
It’s the very thing that opens
the doors of the mystery
of a lifetime with someone
you yearn to know deeper than
you’ve cared to know anyone else.

But what’s the point
if you stop fighting?
If you never knew how
to fight to begin with?
Cowering in a corner,
unsure of scolding glances
and pained expressions
of love pitted against
the comfort of familiarity
no matter the disdain.

And you sit and stare
in utter confusion.
“I have no experience.”

I say,
man up.
