WHEN LOVE SINKS..

Deeply hurt

Is the heart,

Negligent attitudes cold and frozen,

Words left unspoken,

Bitterness ensconced 

With the surly, irascible response,

Whenever love tried getting close,

The once much in love hearts squabbled like foes,

The eyes eagerly await a backward glance,

But you do not fall prey to commitment, nor take another chance,

Reason why I no more love you,

Nor do I crave for  you;

Familiarity stinks,

Love sinks

Below, in a watery grave, submerged,

Stupefied, befogged and besieged,

Stagnant feelings and moribund sentiments,

Choked by the hydrilla; Ah! now dead those ever lasting moments!
