A Fickle Fleeting Thing

Love is a fickle, fleeting thing,
It leaves you with a brutal sting
That lasts a lifetime and then some;
Until a heartless corpse you become.

It breaks you more than it repairs,
It builds then pushes you down stairs.
A wolf feasting on its pack and mate.
At the end all that's left is miserable hate.

Giving the impression it completes one,
After a while away the love will always run.
It makes you whole, just to make a bigger hole,
Digging deeper into your being like a tireless mole.

Destroying everything except itself and disdain.
Love is just another synonym for lethal pain.
When we reach our inevitable finish line
The thought of numbness will seem sublime.
