I love you?

I love you.
I’ve said it so many times.
I love you.
I’m beginning to find

That words lose power
As they are repeated
Every hour
My heart feels cheated

There’s no more racing
No nervous butterflies
I can’t keep chasing
That look in your eyes

The lie of the tongue
Can clash with the heart
And though it has stung
I’ll rip it apart

Because no amount of pain
No tears I can cry
Can make up for the strain
Of watching love die.
