Failed Lovers

"In every relationship there will come a day
when you will say, "Is this love, lust or
  infatuation; and ultimately question your
   ability to love."

I'm no longer sure what we are to each other,
we don't seem to be so clearly defined.

Kisses we loved to share seem less important now,
the grapes gone sour upon the vine.

Rarely now my thoughts run to you
nor do yours rush to mine.

Perhaps we've becoming failed lovers,
our love destined to be redefined.

"I suppose some parts of love could be displayed
  through lust; but let not lust be the messenger
   nor the purveyor of love."

Love-a deep and tender feeling of affection for
or attachment or devotion to a person.
Lust-a desire to gratify the senses;
bodily appetite.
Infatuate-to inspire with foolish or shallow love
or affection.
