Ruins Poem by Kay Barcelon

When love turns into hate
It carves in us an empty space
And sometimes it is too late
To put something back in its place

When joy is replaced by grief
It is so difficult to even breathe
No matter how much we unload
We still wish that this life is short

When life loses its direction
Our mind and our spirit begin to drift
And all turns into a great confusion
Then we fall apart in a sudden swift

To fill the void what we people do
The desperate moves we go through
All the lives we are willing to sacrifice
Just to fill the need we ignore the price

Then more anger comes and ruins lives
So much that we cannot go back
Pride helps us pretend and live the lies
And we go on but all the loves are gone
