What is love, he asks

If it as pure and true

As she proclaims

Then how can it disappear

In a matter of days

Vanished

Ponder

He’s left to wonder

The other wanders

Further, further

She puts distance between them

An effort to protect her heart

Not quite knowing

No longer trusting

Doubting what is good and true

She reflects

Inward

There’s comfort there

In this space

She’s come to know so well

And so she stays

Inside her shell

For now
