Love does not die of just a single blow,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn5UibsVe2
Its life flows out quite slowly over years,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYVK5rTHqt
One drop follows another as love flows,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocIYfOUvJZ
From thousands of unfatal cuts and tears.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YD2VWFSXA
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxxVBQAnKZ
A thousand little stings from tongue or eye,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw236M2D05
A thousand unkind words from me and you,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJwUXLM97S
A thousand "I told you so’s" piled on high,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrXuGSdbGp
A thousand battles lost, refought anew.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0YqkbF2D7
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31e9pgS4Cl
Each wound a scab that grows harder with time,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjZPNnwhWG
Covering festering hurts that won't heal,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnahH8ygXNK
An unwise word morphs to betrayal sublime,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboikqM5hC4
Suppurating reminders all too real.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jOeOwY7IU
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbUSFnWjtR
Simple kindness is lost from lack of use,20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZoRK4pu3W
And what remains just a facade in truth.20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxvACZE2Zy
