Love's Prey

[billy]

for someone new to poetry it's pretty good
i like the opening line, and wonder if you tried to keep the same meter would it have read better.

and trust not its resilience,
it only fails your certitude.

just a suggestion on how to make it it easy when spoken aloud.

Be weary of the lover’s love,
And place no trust in its resilience,
For it can only fail your certitude,
Leaving you alone on your deathbed,
Sacrifice your heart to love,
And you've sacrificed yourself,
For loves beheld does not always feel,
While the beholder becomes loves prey,
To be devoured whole,
To forfeit one’s soul,
And ultimately,
Die alone.

I'm very new at this and really interested in any critique. Thank you.
