Non-Existent

your love is like a

                   g 
                        lantern

one moment it burns so bright,
it's so warm..
so warm that people step right in

then...

once they loosen their grip
it grows cold,
               small,
               distant....
               almost non-existent

Thought provoking. Well written. How does one get a grip on love? Who knows, maybe it needs to be a loose touch?Many wishes, Kai
