Death Of Love Poem by Jan Oskar Hansen

The death of love


I knew of a couple
They were in love and happy
Saving money to buy a house.
She became pregnant and
Thought it was best to have an abortion
Without consulted her spouse she went and had one
And since awoman's body is her temple
She didn't think of telling him.
When he knew he felt resentful he had hoped
They one day would have ababy.
The umbrage gnawed inside of him he felt
Cheated, and their lovemaking had lost
It's intensity.
They grew apart and they parted, love had
found a backdoor and escaped the misery.
I think when two people live together
The consequences must be shared by both.
