Tired of waking up alone
Watching the tides change
Just like my emotions.
Is it me that makes you run
Or are you incapable
Of loving anyone.
To watch you walk away
After sitting me on the shelf
Trying to think of reasons why,
Of ways to make you stay.
Always left alone in the dark
While you surround yourself in light.
Did my passion fill your heart
With a light that wouldn't fade
Did my insatiable hunger
Burn through your soul
Like a candle in the night.
Did my unconditional love
Haunt your every dream
When you hear my name
Does it make you want
To break down and scream.
Does the memory of my scent
Send your heart racing
The taunting lilt of my voice
Make you ache for my touch.
Do you remember our kisses
With the same fiery passion.
Why leave me on this shelf
Are you hoping my memory
Will fade quickly from your heart
Is it my love your afraid of,
Or can you not love?
