Right Now: Love Fades

Sasha Nakamura

 

when the rosy filter ceases

to cover the unfiltered fights 

 

and the sweet nothings 

turn into always somethings 

 

as anger takes over

where passion used to stand 

 

and you’re left crying no longer laughing

from months spent out of a love trance

 

you’ll know you’ve reached it

the point of no return 

 

you’ll know you’ve reached it

when you’re forced to face the music

 

the song that used to uplift

but now only weighs you down

 

heavy from head to toe

the burden weighs

 

the burden that love fades
