out

why does no one speak

of the pain of falling out of love

you try so hard to be

but you just can't love with them

they don't play that part anymore

they're not the one person for you

and yet you still try

to force those emotions

force that passion

that flame

but it never works

it never ignites

it never burns

not the way it once did

and all you can wonder

is when did it die

when did it fade to nothing

when did it give up

and why didn't it let me know



as i've expressed before, love is a strange concept to me. i still struggle with thinking about how it could ever be possible to love someone so deeply that everything you do is dedicated to them. this was written when i was missing the people i once thought i loved.
