Love Bombs

Undivided attention
Continuous compliments
Constant affection 
Holding hands
Making plans 
Flowers and cards 
Reassurance 
It's ok let down your guard 
Placed on a pedestal
Magical
Intimate desires 
Souls and hearts catching fire 
Lust 
Apprehensive fears turned to dust 
Suddenly everything stops 
Like frozen hands on an old run down clock 
Invisible
Hate fueled words 
Cold hearted rejection 
Hands left bruised and bleeding afterwards
Cancelled plans
Dead flowers and ripped up cards
She let down her guard
Knocked off the pedestal
Unimaginable
Intimacy dead 
Souls and hearts turned to ice instead
Disgust 
Fears become real losing trust
