From Flood to Famine: The Fleeting Forever of Feelings

Drowning in unrequited love after the flood promised it was unconditional.
Feasting on abundance until the sustenance is situational.
The inevitable rug pull revealing the magician's final trick.
A disappearing act for the ages.
Something which possessed such permanence vanishes from all sight.
Leaving an empty world with only a mere after image blurred into the background just out of reach.
The promise of forever, ringing throughout the canyon left behind, grows more distant and faint.
The flood subsides leaving devastation in it's wake as it carries it's promises to another desperate soul.
Yet, in the midst of it's path of catastrophe?
An endless line of battered souls.
On their knees.
