Fay Slimm - Love's Only Needs

Love cannot die,
................ but it fades if not fed.
It declines into a shell,
............................ and just waits.


Although then emotionless
......................................love, led
Into browsing on memory,
..................................... debates
Whether it's lead or recede
.............................that's needed.


Shredded by yearning
........................into pale spectre
Love yet finds good reasons
...........................why no feeding
Ever comes it's way,
.................... it does not expect
Life to be easy,
...................commitment, above
All, seems the answer,
................. love only needs love.
