Sour-Love Recipe

Love 
After all is just a word, 
Boiled to mean feelings 
Which can cut like a sword, 
Or simply leave one reeling
In ecstacy, 
Or sane insanity. 
It has a sweet taste too
Which only the heart can tell 
But the body can feel
And the hands can touch too. 
But it does go sour. 
Yes! Indeed it does;
Add a little selfishness
A pint of forgetfulness 
Large amount of lies
Deciet or simple pretense. 
Remember to add Lust
Which leaves love to rust, 
You can add a little trust 
That which already is lost. 
Envy, anger and jealousy
Are to be added in large quantity. 
Remember the all-mighty pride, 
The only ingredient to set the tide
For a journey of no love lost.
