Rekindle Your Love Spindle

Work overtime to keep your love alive When flames flicker And feelings strive to dive To drive your love weaker By dint of neglect You slowly indulge as less and less care You offer when you select Attitudes that in full glare Betray paucity of empathy Seen in indifference, sulk and insolence in silence Through dearth which sympathy Suffers in reference and preference For times spent away from the apple of your eye On whom no quality time you lavish As her sky Stumbles cos your wish Deletes the special place in your heart Once guaranteed, now in tatters As in a series of tiny steps you start To ascribe more significance to matters In which the apple of your eye features less and less Until by dint of persistence A wall of silence and resentment tinged with careless Abandon throws and grows a distance Between you and the love you did cherish In slow gradations it begins to wither If you initiate no tangible steps to nourish The love as you dither Knowing not what Or why your love cries As love caught Up in crises dies When oxygen no longer fans flames Essential to rekindle Enzymes. Claims and blames unleashed on hapless dames Won’t repair your love spindle Until you spring into action To seize the bull by its horns To return to her satisfactions Beyond remote phones, risible tones and crank clones.
