Secret to Relationships

Someone once gave me a piece of advice,

In which a relationship's doomed, and pays a price.

"The power within this relation of ours

Belongs to he who does not care as much.

Relationships' doomed and destined to fail

As star-crossed lovers descend into hell,

No point in caring, it might break your heart

Relationships fail from the start."

That person then told me, the power was his

He would not care, that was his promise

And in his eyes laid a vast emptiness.

I smiled and said "You're a silly man.

Power is not the right plan.

He who does not care may not get hurt

But is he truly happy?

No. I think not.
