Love,

Loss,

Why?

Why do we love?

Why do we want love?

Is it because,

We want something more?

To fill a void,

That feels...

Impossible,

To escape from?

Should we even try...

To escape,

That void?

Or should we just...

Relish,

Within?

Why do we,

Experience love?

Is it to experience,

The loss,

And pain,

That comes after?

No.

But to experience,

The bliss,

And ecstasy...

Of the deep lust,

Buried within us.

Does it seem to be...

Worth,

The effort?

Also,

No.

It can all,

Fall apart,

At your very fingertips.

Did you even stop

To consider...

That nothing,

Lasts,

Forever?

Even love.

I'll forever find myself,

In the same,

Empty,

Void.

Wallowing,

In loss.

As that,

Is all I know now,

And continue to know,

As time went on...
