A dark void now envelops my saddened shrinking heart that once was so filled with declarations of your love. I don't recall when your passions evanesced... slowly, but surely, or when that spark left your eyes. I was working too hard to notice. Like the burden of a cut dying rose As it struggles to hold up its head and its once vibrant beauty fades, Our love has wilted, faded away. It is sad when a couple once so in love slowly drifts and grows apart. It's even sadder when each of them still has love left in their hearts. 3-12-20
