Our love, once sturdy
Strong as granite rock
Standing against the storm
Has been eroded
By elements of distrust
Unspoken discontents,
And bitter jealousies
Corrodes like acid
As doubts and suspicions
Grow like cancers
Until they become terminal
Silent killers of love
Why do you hold back?
Why can’t you go all the way?
“I love you” those are the words
That I want to hear you
say
Don’t be half hearted
I need you one hundred percent
I don’t want you to be unsure
I want you to be content
You have to be sure
and,
Content as I am in my choice
But you are, not are you?
I can hear it in your voice
You don’t feel the same as I
I don’t make your pulse race
Or your heart skip a beat
I’m right; I see it on your face
Love isn’t a one-way
street
It has to flow both
ways
But it isn’t flowing
to me
Not even on the best
of days
Then it’s over and done
I won’t have half measures
It has to be all or
nothing
Not just the pleasures
I need to be “the one”
I won’t be your second best
I won’t invest my love
With no prospect of
interest
It’s sad when love ends
And a couple have to part
But I only feel regret that
I never reached your heart
