L'amour (translation below)

Qu'est-ce qu'il se passe avec l'amour?

il ne dure plus qu'un jour,

on rit, on pleure, on se fache,

en un instant on se detache.

Comment a l'amour on a pu croire?

Le coeur plus beau devient noir,

en vivant ce sentiment

on souffre toujours, quel tourment !

L'amour devient haine, les bisous s'oublient,

ensuite on ne vit que l'ennui.

TRANSLATION

What happens with love?

It doesn't last more than a day,

we laugh, we cry, we get angry,

in a moment we split up.

How could we believe in love?

The most beautiful heart becomes dark,

living this feeling

we always suffer, what an agony ! 

Love becomes hatred, kisses are forgotten,

then we only live tedium.

Author's Note

Just something I came up with during history classes, had to spend that time somehow xD
Written originally in French getting inspiration from a friend's love story

It always looks more elegant in French for some reason. A bittersweet tale, no matter the language. Nicely pen'd Le Parisian.

Love are good days and bad days. Better to remember the good days and forget the bad ones. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
