No Love Lost

If there is no love lost

then they must be at odds.

But how could there be “no love lost”

if there was no love to be lost?

You can only lose something you have.

When there's no love between two people

how could they lose any?

There is no love between them, and none to lose.

Or perhaps there was so much love

that there could be “no love lost.”
