- Beau Taplin
when the lovers lose love,
and it does happen-
it’ll be slow.
he will stop doing the little things,
she will stop caring as much.
she will convince herself that she’s fighting for herself,
and soon realize she has been fighting for him.
when the lovers lose love,
the people around them will be confused.
“you seemed so happy”
“what happened?”
“are you okay?”
when the lovers lose love,
she will cry herself to sleep.
she will second guess her decisions.
she will continue down the path of losing herself completely.
when the lovers lose love,
he will make excuses for the things he did,
he will sit alone and try to figure out a plan to grab her attention,
he’ll think of how it use to be.
when the lovers lose love,
it is sad.
but it gets better.
when the lovers lose love,
and it does happen-
it’ll be slow.
“I suffered holy pains.”
— Herman Hesse, Steppenwolf
স্বপ্নের দীপ্তি ছুড়ে ফেলতে হলো গাঙে
ডুবে যায় ঊষার সাথে সূর্য-শুকতারা
নিভে যায় সব আলো, জোনাকি-চন্দ্র-তারা।

Dreams' lamp made to be thrown in the sea,
To drown with the dawn, sun and Venus
To dim with the light of the fireflies, moon and stars.
In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality.
