Essence of life destroyed,

ruined without love

No hope or yearning

for tomorrow

Man would not love woman

Both just passionless souls

moving about without cause

Mother would not love child

No desire to protect

The one she should hold dear

Seasons would make

little difference to our

loveless minds except

to feed what little hunger

we still possess

Feelings of longing

just might be thoughts

cast away along the wind

Bring back love and

life can be lived

Without love,
