Failed Love

Soon there’ll be nothing left
An empty space of memories blowing away in the wind
Going back to and fro
Come what may, you have to let me know

Deep inside I feel betrayed
A hurt that numbs me away
What is it I did wrong
Emotional transgressions that went beyond

We didn’t even really try
A lack of oxygen
Can we revive our brave soul
Now all too much out of our control

We died a slow death
Our complexions turned grey
The care we had bled dry
A love that money couldn’t buy
