A Love That Was Never There

What is there to live for
Now that we are through?
I just cannot be sure
Of what the hell I should do.

We fit together so perfectly
Like a puzzle piece,
But then we struggled so desperately
To cure this lovely disease.

Why did we try so hard,
To keep it all together?
Expired passion on a playing card
Has no promise of forever.

I guess I knew it would end,
In a way similar to this,
With bruises trying to pretend
to be an absentminded kiss.

But I thought that maybe we
Could make it through the fire,
Rescuing the burning tree
That held all our desire.

Now I see I was wrong
To think that you could change,
And now I'm lost in this silent song
The loneliness is strange.

I wish that you were with me
Like you were before,
Now that man is missing
But I'll love you forever more.
