Analysis of Why love dies (revisited)
Blanketed eyes.
An ominous clash.
No goodbyes.
No laughs.
This is a place where love dies.
Blackened skies.
A littered past.
Many whys.
A future trashed.
This is a place where love dies.
Many tries.
Secrets stashed.
The love subsides.
Two hearts are smashed.
This is a place where love dies.
