Love Kills Slowly

Love kills slowly because it's so strong.
I want to let go yet it's taking so long.
Love runs like poison in each vein,
a deadly drug that causes such pain.
Whatever happened to this thing?
Which such joy, it should bring.
Is it love or is it lust?
'Tis only a fantasy of honesty and trust.
A double-edged sword of lies and deception,
it clouds the eyes and fogs ones perception.
Loves' intoxicating addiction may leave you distraught,
it consumes the soul and can cause it to rot.
This flowing srteam of both evil and good,
has brought no satisfaction - not sure that it could.
Love kills slowly because it's so strong.
I'm letting it go. I've done nothing wrong.
