But Seriously

Why does love dissipate and circle into greed?
An ugly foundation that has planted its seed.
Where all good deeds go unseen.
Emotions we hate to feel start to seep in.
But Seriously......
Why do we shut out what we so often need?
Leaving us stranded, with our hearts to bleed.
Feeding off this negativity, makes wounds hard to heal.
But Seriously, too many emotions make it hard to feel.
Knowing feelings are temporary,
Forever fleeting, rarely do they last.
As with the hands of time, 
It continues to move forward all too fast!
But Seriously......
It Changes; like the seasons. Nothing stays the same.
But Seriously......
Love has its reasons for which reason knows not its name.
