Love does not die of just a single blow,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw6U4MxRPc
Its life flows out quite slowly over years,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpIom2jBiu
One drop follows another as love flows,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeehL2CBLGq
From thousands of unfatal cuts and tears.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlXVi3YA3K
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EExNWE1AE
A thousand little stings from tongue or eye,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAbFaZVHwe
A thousand unkind words from me and you,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpu77xJlpR
A thousand "I told you so’s" piled on high,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlESfluuJn
A thousand battles lost, refought anew.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdORCN2I8S
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIT4h3vjkd
Each wound a scab that grows harder with time,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i8RyI2b90
Covering festering hurts that won't heal,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ0icRHoEz
An unwise word morphs to betrayal sublime,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYivor58UqF
Suppurating reminders all too real.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKqIx7D6he
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg2gavYoDx
Simple kindness is lost from lack of use,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7K3fIbmUj
And what remains just a facade in truth.14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfqJPygbXC
