There Is No Love

love

your name is still

etched on the tip of my tongue
it claws at the back of my teeth
begging for release
forcing me to speak your name
whenever I meet somebody
but lately
I think I've been going rather crazy

because your name escapes my lips
even when there's no one beside me

love

I've been trying 

all this time just to see

all the reasons you have given me

just to leave

I don't understand

why did you let me go

if all you wanted to know

was how much I'd care

if I'd still be there

love
is it too late ?
is it too late for me

to tear your walls again ?

because lately
I've been sleeping all alone again
just me 

in an empty room

on a single bed

embracing the silence

when there's nothing left

love
you were my everything

and I tell myself

this is just a bad dream

I never wanted you

to lie about your happiness

so why did you set me free ?
if all you needed was the sympathy

when all you were

was just a little lonely

love

but you fall

into his arms

you fall

into his heart

love

but you crawl

back into his bed

into his body
into his bones

into his moans

love

you wait for me

for a while

even though I know

he wants to bear your child

love

I know he's better than me

love

but I'm still human

can't you see ?

love
I know you lie

love

I know you cry

love

you were my everything

love

there is no love

love

I wish I could say,

"take your time

I wait for no one else

until you're mine"

but you should know

when you walked out the door

I cannot love you

anymore
