As you can see, I have been lacking inspiration for the past few days. But enough slacking! I go back with a little word.

Lovelorn: Noun, pronounced lvlôrn (don't ask). Its meaning is:
1) Bereft of love or one's lover.

The term is also used in Planescape's cant, and means there "someone romantically inclinded towards succubi and similar creature" (which is bound to result in the "regular" meaning of the word fairly quickly). I promise, I will stop there with Planescape.
