Familiar Love

Where is the passion that once lit our fire

Its embers grow tired and weak

Our love has grown weary, void of desire

Where is this flame that we seek

The candle has burned, the wax now cold

The wick? now gone with the flame

Then trust ran away, as our secrets unfold

With no one but ourselves to blame

The promises made, lay dying each day

As memories are starting to fade

Without reason or rhyme, it turned out this way

Just look at the mess that we've made

Our emotions now fuel this love of a lie

The truth too hard to embrace

The love that we knew has started to die

Becoming a familiar face

Familiar love is all we have left

Yet we both feel the need to stay

So here we remain in spite of this theft

Until one of us walks away

good write my friend.

You captured this sad emotion very well, sir. Well written thoughts. To say I've been there and done that seem silly, but its true. I just never put it into words quite as well as you.
Good, solid write.
