ΤЂЄ DAY THAT LOVﻉ BEGAN TO DIE
the moment of our first glance
the dance began
that quick shy shifting of your lashes
was when love began to die
nothing that followed
could re-create
your first touch
nothing would smell as sweet
nothing that we did
could duplicate
the wonder of love’s name
when love began to die
now that love is dead
your tender touch
has changed to anger
and everything about you
makes me want to cry
makes me want to curse
inside
if only we could live life in reverse
and avoid the day that love began to die

Hey Alyssa, my PFH's (Partner From Hell) surname is Marie so I feel as though we are related.
