Where Is The Love? Poem by May N

Disappearing from my grasp
you say your empty words
avoiding me with your eyes
confusing me with mixed messages

the passion which radiated brightly
now only dims as you put me off
holding me back as you turn away
making me feel flustered and unwanted

the touches you leave me now
are cold and unfeeling, dead
so unlike before this happened
where it left me hot and fierce

the desire that shined off your eyes
became dull and gray, emotions are muted
and the strands of love that i cling onto
slip silently from my fingers

then while i search for the answer
running after you desperately
you disappear from my view
and everything is clouded

searching for you in the dark
only to find your cold body
the only thing waiting for me
and i weep my sadness

i wonder where the man i love went
i contemplate why he feels nothing
but my quest for the answer is ongoing
as my question is left unanswered

so where IS the love?
