Loveless Union

by Belle Webb

A loveless marriage, a union bleak and bare,

Two souls entwined in emptiness and despair,

The vows they made, now broken and untrue,

A bond once strong, now fragile and askew.

The days are long, the nights even longer,

No warmth, no tenderness, no love to make them stronger,

A hollow shell of what could have been,

A loveless marriage, with no hope to win.

No joy, no laughter, no happiness shared,

Only pain and sorrow, that cannot be repaired,

The promises they made, now lost and forgotten,

A loveless marriage, with hearts left to rot in.

They live their lives, side by side but apart,

No passion, no fire, no love in their hearts,

A loveless marriage, a fate they cannot escape,

A life without love, forever to be shaped.

The possessions they have, a reason to stay,

But even they cannot keep the loveless at bay,

A life without love, a life without meaning,

A loveless marriage, a tragedy unrelenting.

So they continue on, in their loveless way,

Hoping for a miracle, for love to come their way,

But deep inside, they know it's just a dream,

A loveless marriage, a life without a gleam.
