Love is a catastrophe. Look what it's done to me. Brought me down here so low. stranded nowhere to go. No concentration. just rerunning conversation. Trying to understand. how I fell into this quicksand. What happens next?. With life I'm unimpressed. Pain like a cutter's knife. Never been lonelier in my life. Who issued the instruction. for this mad act of destruction?. An end to equilibrium. Fate laughs:. Look what we've done to him!. High wind through the trees. Falling November leaves. A weak sun hanging low. Summer seems so long ago. All my former dreams. tender romantic schemes. revealed as so naive. To think I could believe. In love as the kindest law. not as a declaration of war. on my life and sanity. Now I know at last for me. love is a catastrophe
