It's too bad it died. <br />Love we tried to keep, <br />Ecstatic. <br />Then one day it dried. <br />To sit in a bitterness... <br />That welcomes an admitted emptiness. <br /> <br />It's pointless to deny, <br />I have cried myself to sleep. <br />And it is never okay... <br />To just walk away. <br />Pretending two do not bleed. <br />From a relationship, <br />That has broken into bits. <br /> <br />The magic had quit its believin'. <br />It left our eyes, <br />To take a flight away. <br /> <br />That magic felt had quit its existence. <br />To leave heartbreak in a place that aches, <br />Everyday. <br />And in every way. <br /> <br />That happiness we had is gone. <br />I can not fathom a lost appetite to eat. <br />I feel a side of me that has grown colder. <br />To pick and choose from leftovers... <br />Unsatisfying and tasteless, <br />When expectations were left high... <br />On sweetened familiar treats. <br /> <br />The magic had quit its believin'. <br />It left our eyes, <br />To take a flight away. <br /> <br />That magic felt had quit its existence. <br />To leave heartbreak in a place that aches, <br />Everyday. <br />And in every way.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
