Love,

(Original date written: 11-14-06)



Love, O sweet love, you escaped my hands so swiftly.
Life without you has been unfair,
but at least I still care.

Love, O sour stare, you believe that I deserve only hateful glances.
God knows that I suffer.
You were once MY lover.

Love, do you not remember the way I loved you?
The way I would throw a fit just so I could hear the soft undertones
of your voice, saying that everything will be fine?

How could you have forgotten?
I still weep over us.
I still fall deep into the pit of hell.

Love, O sudden end!
Reach out and say it isn't so.
My soul regrets a certain choice.
