To love and lose someone is a disease.
The heartbreak can leave your stomach churning
Puts hatred in old lovers hearts with ease
Overcomes passion that was once burning.
The hurt’s vision clouds with love’s flame’s exhaust,
Destroying their soul with a virulent flu.
Uproots others lives and create lines crossed
Leaves chaos and division in its rue.
Love provides an everlasting heartache.
When betrayed, can make the broken fearful,
Once found, it is forgotten it can break
Numbing hearts and power to be cheerful.
This bewildering invisible pain.
Love can turn the most clear headed insane.
