Love only needs love, <br />............................... but nothing less. <br />Mere shreds of pale <br />..................strained emotion remain <br />When love is neglected <br />.................. and becomes stressed. <br />Then passion usurps <br />.................love's place and it drains. <br /> <br />Best of feelings can <br />........................... no longer blossom. <br />Lust used as substitute <br />................................. covers no pain. <br />Hurt asserts itself <br />.............................. and hurt is costly. <br />To compensate, hearts <br />........................ just need love again. <br /> <br />Emotions work best <br />.........................to demonstrate love. <br />Shredded, they only prevent <br />...............................love's movement.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shreds-of-emotion/
