The impossibility of love with age: Poem

The lack of naivety

Pulling down like gravity

Crushing the innocent lie

Of unbreakable love

The haggard face of cupid

Has been unearthed

Behind the mythical mask

Of 'meant to be'

The decimation of destiny

Infatuated feelings

Replaced by suspicious thoughts

And analysis

Opposing views

And opinions

Stretching love beyond limits

Until the inevitable snap of strained tension.

Futures lost

Over what things cost

And musical choices

And inward voices

The sad reality

Of all doubts proving true
