Pain coiled

In the red cords of love

Cause a sweet-toxic flow of passion

That pierces the souls of the fateful

Birthing a horrid abomination.

 

 

Adoring a beautiful ensemble

It comes to those who seek

An emotion that is nearing extinction.

Promising a blissful existence

 

 

It illuminates a trail

Feeding on the vitality of those who walk 

Leaving a carnage of dead emotions.

 

What a bleak picture conjured by a beautiful word called love!
