Love is Gone

You can see it.
It lies beyond the wall.
It comes towards you;
Wanting you wait for it to return
To be.

Love lies.
It deceives.
It hides.
Love is a poison.
It fools the mind
To try to define
An illusive quality.

Love is a drug.
You have it once,
You can't have enough.
Love is easy to give,
Hard to receive;
And in it
Even the lightest lines, (of effort)
Are heavy and green.
With rot,
Every day of absence kills
And maims another piece.
And another piece goes missing.

Do you wonder where 'it' went?
Do you wonder why you can't put it to a name?
If 'it' is true,
Where are you?
What are you
Without it?

This is the conclusion of the three part 'Love is {in} Time' series. I hope you enjoyed it.

  1. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

    Love never fails.

  2. Love is a deception of the mind. It only lasts so long as you are 'in' love. This set is less about love itself...and more about the 'times' of love, making bad decisions from recklessness.

    Happy Valentines, anyways.
