Love does not die of just a single blow,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlFiqHkqdr
Its life flows out quite slowly over years,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BhBqgVlJt
One drop follows another as love flows,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb69RVpNOCZ
From thousands of unfatal cuts and tears.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRLxo4voU4
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkMsQ9eBC4
A thousand little stings from tongue or eye,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z4PjWeIq9
A thousand unkind words from me and you,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp66rR1TLmM
A thousand "I told you so’s" piled on high,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2WgskYejG
A thousand battles lost, refought anew.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVtwwX7B0K
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx3mATWmIi
Each wound a scab that grows harder with time,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F705qs0n2
Covering festering hurts that won't heal,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUMz7a8EYs
An unwise word morphs to betrayal sublime,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mCE68VFJu
Suppurating reminders all too real.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmTo2bj1uw
144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSOteQwAoL
Simple kindness is lost from lack of use,144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2Z2iiGY7A
And what remains just a facade in truth.144Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DVgzaMzSN
