Complacency
Such beauty, only nature could compare
How fair her face, when first she graced my sight
Brown eyes so kind, highlighting flaxen hair
A smile so bright, one thinks of dawn's firstlight
Fate smiled, as we were both caught in love's snare
Entangled hearts immersed to love's delight
Two fools, who both before, had love forsweared
Both blinded by a love that burned too bright
Yet love is like a garden one must tend
Regardless what one thinks, love is not free
Rewarded richly for the time you spend
But dying slowly from complacency
If I should say "I love you" 'neath my breath
For her, my love will linger until death
