Love is a Cold Abyss

Love has been like a cold abyss to me
Endless, Hopeless, Emotionless, 
you seem to fall forever aimless, 
directionless, motionless you 
think you are going somewhere &
you just end up nowhere.
I'm tired of the neverending falling
I feel it's meaningless
How has love become so empty?
In the past Love was made to last
now it seems it is an unwelcome task.
Does anyone care to give love anymore?
Getting something in return is not what
love was meant for.
I see so many careless, empty people

anymore it takes two to make it work for you

Maybe everyone thinks it's a waste of time
Showing someone you care is like a crime
I never thought emotions could ever become so out dated
maybe love is overrated
Love is the foundation on which we all stand
Without it our strength is like sand
always there but never firm enough to withstand
Life's highs & lows does no one remember we reap
what we sow?
It's like planting a rose garden without any soil 
or sunlight that it needs to grow.
Maybe love has become so vague we have created 
a plague of dead end temporary desires that 
never really lead anywhere at all
A neverending fall
into the cold abyss only to find more
turbulent waters around the next bend
until it just ends.
Love takes work from two hearts that
want it to, two hearts that know that
apart they are not complete but when
they meet they are better than ever before.
Love is a treasure to be shared but
without the work it will go no where. 
We have made love a mockery by
accepting things that love was
never meant to be for.
We have diluted the magic of love
till it has become polluted with
values that will never stand the
test of time there is a reason
the human race has come this far
but our future has already become scarred.
Devaluing our values has more of an
impact then we realize but we continue
to deny the facts. 
Love has become a cold abyss 
but the warmth doesn't seemed to be missed.
It's a sad day when love has become such
a state of disarray.
