Contradictions in love’s afflictions

Long days once shaded by hollow lies
Alone on the aged crumbled front porch
Bitter tears drip with confessions cries
Slack fingers release the frozen torch

Beyond the landscaped fa347ade of truth
Fabric torn, stitched with unskilled hands
Seep insidious into unsuspecting youth
Unable to forfeit the inevitable demands

Fear begins the deed and then remains
Daylight fades to vacant empty stares
Link by broken link becomes the chains
Until naught is left but tattered wares

Tired hands continuous in their rounds
Cessation of pain plays and then rewinds
The black words unspoken resounds
the morning light heartlessly reminds
