Rusty Love

Corroded by time
Torn apart
Blackened with age
A worn out heart

Open and willing
To try love again
Only to find
A disastrous end

Broken and weakened
Each time love had failed
But holding on tighter
Hope still prevailed

Then love turned the dying
Into the dead
When one more good-bye
Was all that was said

Corroded by time
Torn apart
Rusty love
Destroyed the heart
