Failed Love

By Anaelle

Love has failed
When you no longer feet your heart beat
Strong and bold
Instead it softens to a quiet flutter

Love has failed
When you wake up in the morning thinking
"Oh God, am I still alive?"
And you go to bed each night hoping it'll be the last

Love has failed
When you constantly feel tired
Drained if simply everything
Struggling to breathe

Love has failed
When you become society's drone
Refusing to fight for something you no longer see
Walking blindly to your death

Love has failed
When the rain is just wet
The sunshine is just light
And in-between is just reality

Love has failed
When you no longer cry
Tears dried to non-existent
Becoming a constant rash

Love has failed
When you simply cease to feel
