Love does not die of just a single blow,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTopVDKlJI7
Its life flows out quite slowly over years,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuD03nMdep
One drop follows another as love flows,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEzYbehWH7
From thousands of unfatal cuts and tears.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNe2UcBorB
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmzL0JU3p1
A thousand little stings from tongue or eye,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhZHfXVlif
A thousand unkind words from me and you,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimpGHeVmCa
A thousand "I told you so’s" piled on high,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkuQ2XLNj3
A thousand battles lost, refought anew.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyloSlYkof
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiPNIfOtwt
Each wound a scab that grows harder with time,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVnQY4ohHi
Covering festering hurts that won't heal,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iUOQp3lQ5
An unwise word morphs to betrayal sublime,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVX12tVLZ5
Suppurating reminders all too real.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIK9spH4zM
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajoh8rRsrt
Simple kindness is lost from lack of use,135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZvXk6SkVP
And what remains just a facade in truth.135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6bhEcrzwB
