Love Spirals Downwards Until It Is Naught

I caught a whiff of emptiness
It tore my heart right back
Sold to her upon a whim
Too many times, lost track
I am the lonely one inside
Lacking judgement or pride

She was the earth and I the moon
Erratic orbits in my head
I live in dream, with my eyes closed
Not watching where I tread
Too blind to see when things were wrong
A torch I carried far too long

Twist a line around the sun
Surprised when I am burned
Falling star, not risen far
Deserve the fate that I have earned
An empty love I can’t defend
But far too weak to meet the end.

Andrew

Very romantic, melancholic write, yet captivating.

Love IS.

Love,

Hello, Andrew. Your title "Love Spirals Downwards Until It Is Naught" is an apt title indeed.

A romantic, yet sadly sweet, penning.

upon viewing the title I thought, trust is broken, love is contaminated...but upon reading the poem, there is so so much more to derive....bittersweet and open emotions, written very well...
