When love has lost

When love has lost 
So much of its glamour
The magic fairy dust reveals 
To be only applied glitter
When the pink glasses 
Have lost their rosiness
And the world around 
Shows its drabness 
It's time to pause
Love to take stock
The other is revealed unadorned
One sees all as it is
The warm fuzzy glow is gone
Can the pretension continue?
Is is worth everything
To sustain and built a life around?
How long will it lasts
Before Saturn, Love's old foe
Corrodes it a second at a time
When everyday beats its infernal
Tattoo in one's heart
And becomes unbearable?
You tell me, what's going to be
I'm not here to judge.
