When Love Is Done

The heart bears a smile,
When someone enters it.
Though bold, it holds,
With a tight death grip.

Affection brings you joy,
With complete happiness.
I bring love to the skin,
Wherever my lips are pressed.

Your inner light glows,
Like the rays of the sun.
But the flame of your love life,
Extinguishes, when love is done.
