Crossfade

Wholehearted, I plunge
I love you strong
Then you change 
You stay yet fade away...
You're not breathing for me no more
You are waiting till I tire 
Till I realize..
No one can stop you
No one can hold you

I exhale grief...
You're bored
You're wrong
You're gone.

Your plaintive passion is based in love's law...your heart, in the jurisdiction of survival. The clarity of this poem is very moving Poetess...J.A.B.
