That Love Can Be Fickle Poem by Francis Duggan

That love can be fickle this is so
They loved each other years ago
Of years both beyond the three score
And they do not love each other anymore
They both are cranky and getting old
And love between them has gone cold
Between them love is forever dead
They share a house but not a bed
They both had children to former lovers in their physical prime
Though this is going back many years in time
And as so called partners in the one house they stay
Where they argue almost every day
The bond of love between them once was strong
But to the past this now belong.
