In memory of ex-couples

Why do we fail to keep

the loving feeling
strong and pure,

alive?

In our hearts we know

what love requires,

yet we neglect its needs.

We know, but we forget,

we abandon,
disregard and disrespect.

Focusing on other things

we wake up one day

with fragments of memories,

out of reach,

because we forgot....

We drift apart

and watch it happen

as the tide turnes

into a heavy current

we´re drawn into the

deadly twirl ...

love suffocates

and dies a painful death....

Then somehow

on the surface again

grasping for air

wondering what happened?

Love reborn and courting,

passionate even

Some things missing,

some things new

not better, not worse,

just different ...

Some

put a life west on,

and just float and drift

alone

lonely...
