I live notwithstanding
the pain that into my heart life brings
to feel the color and warmth
of each new season
in the hope that the happiness
that life has given to my soul
will finally get the chance to sing.
I exist without demanding,
Oh how long it took me to understand
that true care only survives
for a fleeting moment
and then becomes hatred's sting.
I cry in truth commanding
my tears,
the sorrow of my living, to fall
down and touch the joy
in our love declining
and forever hold the good within us all

This is one pen that tears the heart with recollections of similarities.
When love is on the decline and one of the pair sees what is happening and fights to regain the whole...it is most frustrating and you live with the pain being the only one trying. I fought the valiant battle to regain what was waning and believe me, if it is one sided...cut your losses. You sure touched me with your words this morning.
