Marked by Eros
cruel fates arrows leave lasting scars
No one told me it would hurt this much
To finally feel that way, to feel ... in love
Realising that no other times have been this
Meant this
Waited patiently all these years to meet ‘the one’
Only to discover that’s not how it works
Life ... is not that fair
Love is a cruel game, it seems hell-bent on destruction
My destruction
Well you win! I cannot deal with your continued onslaught
I give in. I will it all away! Take this pain from me
They say, ‘it is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all,’
I believe these people to be fools!
Who have never known the true sting of love
For love is not something that can be lost once found
I finally know this now, as one who has never known love before
But now I have felt it, and the danger it holds
Take it away, for it it would be better to never have loved at all
I would not wish this, wish love unrequited on my worst enemy

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.

"Life it not that fair." I think you meant "is" instead of "it." Overall, this was a very well-written poem.
You captured the heartbreak amazingly 💔
heartbreak so perfectly outlined in your poem. Love hurts. It also heals.
I wouldn't wish it on anyone either, even my enemy. It's just too painful
There’s so much pain, but trust me it doesn’t last forever. Even if it feels like it. All you can do is tend to your hurting heart. But it will stop hurting one day. Trust.
Excellent poem entails the positive and negative side if love ,accurate
