Loss of the Spark

Love’s a rumor she’ll dispel Leaving me under my shell Keeping me from my reserve Asking what do I deserve I don’t know just what to do For she holds what I once knew The tragedy, my dying From her evil eyes lying It’s hopeless, the endless dark I have the loss of the spark The end is calling my name Don’t care anymore, the shame… It’s over

a great heartbreak poem, Russell. Was it for that contest? I love the symbolism of love as a rumor. A very nice poem you have penned for us today.
