The Absence of Love

Illustration by @oztheartist

As if I knew love by far,

I said that I yearned for love by hard.

Monotonous attacked my heart,

Everything came to be just so flat.

A bit impetus had no part,

Unlike someone who is so smart,

What kind of pabulum I must have had?

Slow but sure has ruined it all

My standpoint on life;

My perspective of myself;

My way of thinking of love itself.

I said that I yearned for love by hard,

As if I knew love by far.

Thereupon, I asked myself under one assumption,

“Is it true that I yearned for such strong emotion?”—

“…Or is it merely just its affection?”
