No more these apologetic loves.
No more the timidity of doves.
No more the waif with a hopeful sigh.
No more the orphan just getting by.
No more afraid of battles gory.
No more missing the point of story.
No more awake with worry & fret.
No more the guileless innocent get.
“From now on” feels set for failure’s launch.
Though, “No matter” might a crisis staunch.
