Love does not die of just a single blow,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQi0m1zltQ
Its life flows out quite slowly over years,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn04qpvWf2A
One drop follows another as love flows,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzZCUd8ADo
From thousands of unfatal cuts and tears.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejQnP1pZBB
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdZVIXZ9HS
A thousand little stings from tongue or eye,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5auo02oBi
A thousand unkind words from me and you,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSJToAoFbJ
A thousand "I told you so’s" piled on high,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaQnNcCiWf
A thousand battles lost, refought anew.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vIdxQvTmB
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AdaFOzVSb
Each wound a scab that grows harder with time,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhooaeZeI5
Covering festering hurts that won't heal,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vEItOxhP1
An unwise word morphs to betrayal sublime,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5LPHaWYcz
Suppurating reminders all too real.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6jwueiPWC
8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3KwECbtX9
Simple kindness is lost from lack of use,8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaEG357LtD
And what remains just a facade in truth.8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxuaVuKz74
