Love does not die of just a single blow,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLujHB05dg
Its life flows out quite slowly over years,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Js4lazb1
One drop follows another as love flows,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkiVPBnwxN
From thousands of unfatal cuts and tears.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZayva8Abu
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeuxF7aKMf
A thousand little stings from tongue or eye,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcBmognEG4
A thousand unkind words from me and you,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cnAVyfpI9
A thousand "I told you so’s" piled on high,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7c3D2WuWQ
A thousand battles lost, refought anew.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELesoDPrHT
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvpHxMAE5h
Each wound a scab that grows harder with time,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q2p02FTtt
Covering festering hurts that won't heal,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHoGGwS77i
An unwise word morphs to betrayal sublime,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKAHzIDx2J
Suppurating reminders all too real.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJtsu5d4mG
141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KZUcWMHmu
Simple kindness is lost from lack of use,141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP19JBY6GjZ
And what remains just a facade in truth.141Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemKs2h5BpW
