Love only needs love,
............................... but nothing less.
Mere shreds of pale
..................strained emotion remain
When love is neglected
.................. and becomes stressed.
Then passion usurps
.................love's place and it drains.
Best of feelings can
........................... no longer blossom.
Lust used as substitute
................................. covers no pain.
Hurt asserts itself
.............................. and hurt is costly.
To compensate, hearts
........................ just need love again.
Emotions work best
.........................to demonstrate love.
Shredded, they only prevent
...............................love's movement.
