What if love is all you need?

Undying Love vs. Persistent betrayal.

What if you discover that love is all you need?


Breaking all your vows.
  

      

Venturing to the furthest fringes of self-indulgence.


Stretching the patience of the one who loves you unconditionally.


Breaking her heart without batting an eyelid.


And then, you discover that love is all you need.
..

Living your life in complete freedom.


Abusing it with every choice you
 make.


Ignoring the red flags whilst hoisting your own flag of debauchery. 


Sealing your fate with days of philandering and booze.




Living as if the nocturnal pleasures are long and the morning sobriety is short.

Hiding in the shadows of duplicity and lies.


And then, you discover that love is all you need...




Taking no heed and paying no price.


Trampling on the one life you could truly count on.


Making betrayal a hobby you take perverse pleasure in.


Perceiving her pain as a toll she pays for being with you.


Taking liberties at the expense of sorrow afflicted.


And then, you discover that love is all you need...

Lying naked and heart bares open.


Grappling with an emptiness you cannot shake off.


Wondering whether this time is enough really enough?


Holding on helplessly to a past without a future and a future without a past.


Picking up the dead canary of
conscience from the forgotten heap.


And then, you discover that love is all you need.
..

Arriving at the edge of another mindless plunge.


You’re reminded of the stale feeling of deja vu.


Somehow the familiarity reeks.


Somehow the seduction retreats.


You stare down into the abyss.


Confronting whatever lies beneath.


Overcome by a repulsion. 


Awakened by your
 moral purge.


And then, you discover that love is all you need.
..

Picking yourself up.

Returning to the home you’ve forsaken.

Returning to the love you once promised to stay true.

Fearing the worst.

Facing the fear.

Hoping for a second chance.

Praying to start over.

And then, you discover that love is all you need...

Kneeling by her bedpost.

Holding on to her frail hands.

Telling her you are sorry.

Telling her you cannot live without her.

Pleading with tears for love to start over.

And then, you discover that love is all you need...

She smiles at you but faintly.

Her cracks-stained heart mended repeatedly.

She whispers to you but weakly.

Telling you her pain is not in an end that awaits.

But in a love that never reciprocates.

And then, you discover that love is all you need...

Never a union so completely,

Yet never is it so untimely.

Her love is never lost.

Undying love as her gift.

As she let your hand go.

And bid her last goodbye.

You collapse, speechless.

You regret your past, heedless

And then, you discover that love is all you need...

Tears flood your face.

Regret numbs your heart.

You fight to hold on.

You fight for her undying love.

But imminent death embraces her.

Refusing to let go.

And then, you discover that love is all you need...

The tug of love and mortality never stood a chance.

It is a love that came home too late.

Soul taken, her smile remains.

It is a face of an angel.

Quietly, you repeat your vows.

Telling her you’ll never leave her, never.

But this time, she can’t make the same promise to you.

She cannot reciprocate.

She cannot return the love.

Her eyes closed, she's gone...
 

And then, you discover that her love was all you ever needed.

...cheerz.
