When Love Loses
When love loses; its purely defeat
Both shocked and numb you couldn’t take the heat
Feeling worthless, lifeless and dull
A flame blown out, a massacre you never saw.
Nothing to fear but fear itself
Ruthlessly stripped of the youth of your health
Waiting and hoping to fully revive
Heart struggles to beat; you’re barely alive
More downs than ups, a monstrous ride
Leaving you vulnerable; demeaning your pride
Hold your hands steady as they hold up your head
Memories transforming to nightmares instead.
When love loses, it’s purely a trance
Using all strength to begin your stance.
A death in disguise making its presence known
Walking right past you…taking its throne.
(2013)
I wrote this as a coping mechanism when reflecting on my failed relationship.
