Once bitten twice shy.
When a dog bites.
The immediate response of a person is to pull back and not touch the dog again.
Yet sometimes, for whatever reason,
the human tendency is to go back.. try again.
And so we get bitten again.
Sometimes we bleed so much,
We are in so much pain,
That we feel numb.
But because we cherish that relationship which we have,
We try yet again.
Hoping to never lose it.
But the cruel, cruel reality in life,
often gets the better of us.
Once bitten twice shy,
Twice bitten thrice shy,
thrice bitten..
Go and die.
(my personal favorite version)
