Love Stinks Sometimes

It’s a game of snakes and ladders Sometimes

Love Stinks Sometimes

You give your all — still, it’s not enough,

Hold tight, yet they loosen the cuff.

You stay, steady through the storm’s embrace,

They vanish when the winds misplace.

A bitter bloom, a silent ache,

A heart that bends but dares not break.

Love, a promise wrapped in rust,

A dream that crumbles into dust.

It’s words unspoken, lips gone cold,

A story halved, a hand untold.

A quiet war, a losing fight,

A flame that dies without a light.

So love stinks — raw, unkind, unfair,

A hollow touch, an empty stare.

And still, we chase its cruel design,

Hoping hurt might turn to shine.
