When We Fall Out Of Love


Heart turns stone cold
Hurtle into bottomless abyss
Tear innards into shreds
Blighting all hope of happiness


Gorging on sweets won’t rid of
Bitterness that creeps inside mouth
Once filled with sweetness
Of long and fulfilling kisses


Emptiness on verge of implosion
Ignited by recurring nightmares
Interspersed with reveries of passion spent
Wrench the fabric of existence


Feelings precious as miraculous manna
crumple into stinking carcass
Benumb spirit with mounting dread
replacing dreams with regret

When we fall out of love
