For love cannot walk away

For love cannot walk away From a searing pain Scathing its senses Nor flee the distress Of fractured tears Dried at their origin Thus, does it hide Within a bit of humor A silly dance A chided rebuke Of memory’s kisses For love cannot walk away For it is love Not a sappy swoon Destined to wither In the heat of passions angst Nor a butterfly Afloat on wind-blown wings It will at times shriek loudly Into the raging darkness Of billowing despair Weep softly in the absence Of a failing presence Curse in angered arrogance its fate of loving And yet it will endure For love cannot walk away
