We have nothing much to offer love,

Embarrassingly, we extend a nothing offer

We have very little to say about love

Ashamed that love escaped its heart-shaped coffer

We had high hopes once, for our forever-ever

Searching forever with higher hope

Scarcely do we have anything left of belief

Recognising that belief in love is beyond our scope

We have little time that we’ll be together

Together, so little time that we will be we

Tarot cards dealt: Death augers our love’s finality

Despairingly, heads bowed, we both agree
