Love has lost its innocence

Love has lost its innocence.
its warm, fuzzy feeling,
has been replaced by,
indigestion and skin peeling.

I remember back to the days,
when love ran wild and free,
but now is restrained,
by the expectations of society.

The youth of present,
proclaim their knowledge of love,
but it is not until 3 kids and 2 divorces,
do they truly feel loves shove.

I often wonder and ponder,
if love was not based on looks and glamour ,
would the world be so shallow,
and the lack of judgement at the drop of a hammer.

One thing I know for sure,
is that love will take its due course,
but one thing it will never regain,
its meaning, its source.

Love has lost its innocence.
