Action, reaction, consequence and the death of conscience

impulse  
sometimes good  
oft not so  
and that is too often  
the case  
   
love    
at first sight  
with  
the benefit of hindsight  
looks  
feels  
torture[s]  
in the end  
   
the point  
that enrages  
the coldest    
of hearts  
   
is  
   
you start a journey  
promising  
till death do us apart  
   
then your actions  
say otherwise  
with reactions  
and consequences  
not only  
to the detriment  
but to the utter destruction  
of the fellow traveler[s]  
and their souls  
   
one of  
the so called  
soulmates  
become  
soulless    
   
a million  
miles  
from a mate  
   
   
then    
he starts all over again  
ignoring  
at this point  
it is darn impossible  
for the other  
to do the same  
   
ahhh....    
justice?  
well it is blind  
deaf  
dumb  
'cept to the language    
of dollars  
and so it tries to compensate  
for the same  
and only the same  
and that  
is lame  
   
   
   
and  
   
the worst part  
of your unconscious  
action and the resultant reaction  
is left  
for those to bear  
the consequences  
whom  
are least equipped  
to deal with  
   
this  
   
is the point  
where your conscience  
dies  
   
dies  
   
dies  
   
   
love  
at first sight?  
or    
the beginning of    
the    
[bitter] end?
