Love affairs fade in time,
Like melodies played
With no lyrics set to rhyme.
Stare blindly into empty abyss,
yelling angrily, two strangers
Once kissed, their season passed.
No reason to give substance,
To what their circumstance failed
To make last.
Heartbreak certain,
Curtains fall.
As if love was never
There at all.
Madly in lust, trust ever evasive,
Abrasive discovery
that pain won't heal,
if feelings remain unspoken.
No words to explain away,
How absurdly we let "us" stray
Veered with every
searing misunderstanding,
Demanding what could never be.
Holding back, we wouldn't see
growing old together,
No happily ever after.
No laughter to ease hearts;
We quit before we even started.
Unfit to explore, appeasing the rest
Of the world he faced,
instead of heading to be
embraced by the girl —
who couldn't walk away.
Staying won't last
Before distance breaks
she who lies in waiting,
as he succumbs numbly
to let her fade into the past.
