Trust Lost, Love Lost

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

When you trust someone, she is as you.

A universe apart is a mere step away.

When that trust dies, we are strangers two.

A step apart, is a universe away. 

All that was is burned and lost.

And that has meaning is worthless.

All that was cherished warmth is frost.

All endearments dead, we are polite, mirthless. 

This is how relationships die.  Alone.

In the dark.  In silence of our thoughts.

This is how love cools.  Ardour gone.

Like winter.  In civil interactions tensions taut.
