Love is so many things
So much more than a passing fling
It can make you happy or make you sad
When you're in love you feel so glad

But once things begin to sour
Time drags on for each and every passing hour
Feels like withdrawal from addiction
But it's only love's affliction

When you get it you'll know you got it bad
What once made you happy now makes you sad
You pray for your suffering to end
And that some day your heart will mend

Mentally it really takes a toll
You wonder if you'll ever feel whole
Some day the suffering will cease
Then a new life awaits if you sign the lease



 Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end.

Lone Wolf...
This poem is amazing! That you were able to express into words all the chaotic emotions that one experiences when falling in and out of love or when the relationship is over, and you must move on... a truely heartfelt poem!   Cyndey
