What Is Love That Forgets

What is love that neglects to share
one final glance when parting or
a peck upon a furrowed worried brow or
simply a hint of a goodbye tear 
so dearly needed.

What is love that even at its least,
has no gentle caress to say hello or
even a squeeze of hand or
perhaps a smile.

What is emotion that never stops to
ask why sadness leeks through every hello
and screams from silences
too often, no, always ignored.
What is love that forgets

all these things?
