the L word

By vamp_111

whats it like to loose that word? 
                                               
                                                    love

whats it like to miss that word?
                                             
                                               love

what if you already lost it?  

                                          what if it dares to come back?

what if the clouds never rained

                                       and the sun shone no more
the body runs till its legs feel exhausted 
 
                                      but hearts society still awaits in galore.


what if no longer
                         
                          the birds sang their songs

not even the crows 

                             would dare sing along  

                                                                for why sing if you are                                                                                   alone?
why sing if the chorus is gone?

                                               why love if theres nobody there?

why love if you fear what could come?

                                                            how do you love if you dont                                                                    even love yourself?  

how could i love you when i dont know who i am?

watch as my hope  
                 
                             turns into ashes and joins the sand

watch as my hope 
 
                            inch by inch drifts away

watch as my dreams

                                dissapear one by one

and when time's done its thing

                                               watch it just all be all gone

    Nice symbolic imagery. I enjoyed this because of its rhythm and meter line by line. Thank you for sharing. :)
