Love is fleeting.  
An enigma of energy moving with the speed of a train derailed from its tracks.
It is quick and overcomes you with ferocity,
a deceitful dance of give and take,
to chase and be chased.

Love unrequited wraps itself around you,
like chains made to drag your not quite lifeless body to a hidden sepulcher at the bottom of the sea. Pressure and time will turn your corpse into less then a faint memory,

a face in a dream of the lover you were unable to obtain.
