What happens when love fades and

no longer sees beyond the selfishness

that place in disillusionment’s bed

where pain festers and breeds doubt

What happens when a heart falters and

sorrows desire buries the spirit in shame

turning love’s worth into nothingness

…whose shadows loom ever larger

What happens when love sinks and

drowns in dark mirages of teary angst

…when one ceases to hear or speak

the words seem to mean less and less

What happens when mutual respect dies and

broken hearts forget that, they cared once

…when bitterness begins to surface and

kindness is no longer shared…required

What happens to love?
