Adoration arouses desire —
a pool of eager passion, lust, and fire.
Optimism leads to longing,
a sense of bliss, of utter belonging.
Attraction, love, and caring compassion
are bent when love’s light is out of fashion.
Once-tender caring breeds contentment,
transformed through time to bitter resentment.
Irritation combines with anguish;
love’s hopeless depression reverts to languish.
A dreaded torment lurks within the heart —
exasperated, agitated, hope slowly departs.
Left with nothing but grief and misery,
love is lost, unable to be seen.
