without love

pple whither

and die away

but what

kind of love?

between a friend

a lover

a man and woman,

a woman and woman, 

a man and man

a brother or sister

and what of us

who have that

love...

yet still are empty

what vast hole

is so big

that it cannot be filled

and yet

it is...

that unrelenting

unfilled love

between a mother and 

child
