Painful Decline

Happiness, passion, desire
Butterflies, skipping beats, fire
Intense, exciting, fun
Floating clouds warm bright sun

Pleasure, relaxation, affection
Comfort, joy, seems like perfection
Wonderful, awesome, new
A cup of coffee freshly brewed

Questions, secrets, lies
Tries, cries, tries
Uncertainty, fading smile, rain
Starting not to feel the same

Fighting, anger, sadness, tears
Worry, hurt, upset, fears
Heartbreak, sadness, aching pain
Tornado or a hurricane

Bitter, broken, beat up, used
Lost, belittled, destroyed, abused
Suffering, self hate, bad addiction
No longer relief, just an affliction
