oh! these foolish first time lovers

oh! these foolish first time lovers,
so unpracticed in their art!
they know not to seal their pockets,
bubble-wrap their fragile hearts.
never ones to read instructions,
never could tell real from fake.
will you bury all your diamonds?
will you shock your souls awake?
time and time again they'll search it:
i fear they'll never learn that
it's the curse of those who love
to be handed heartache in return.
