Poem - "Does Love Die"

by Chris Allred

Does Love Die

Does love die or fade away
Like a flower withering after given to another
Petals die and fall
Once flourished and bloomed in a sea of color

Does love change
Raging as a fire
Growing as it builds
Fueled by the heart
Consumed by another

Is love retreating
Pushing back
Fighting against want
Unable to truly move

Is love forever
Time stops
And Death moves away
For love is eternal
True love doesn’t die or fade away
