Analysis of Frailty of love



In heart, mind, body and soul,
Our love has taken its toll.
No longer a flame fame,  
for a loving dame,
No longer a lust,
just lays like dust.

In some we trust,
.In most we must.
Though some seem Frail,
All others must fail.

Don’t let it die,
Don’t let it end,
Just remember me as a friend,
