Familiar Love

Where is the passion that once lit our fire Its embers grow tired and weak Our love has grown weary, void of desire Where is this flame that we seek The candle has burned, the wax now cold The wick? now gone with the flame Then trust ran away, as our secrets unfold With no one but ourselves to blame The promises made, lay dying each day As memories are starting to fade Without reason or rhyme, it turned out this way Just look at the mess that we've made Our emotions now fuel this love of a lie The truth too hard to embrace The love that we knew has started to die Becoming a familiar face Familiar love is all we have left Yet we both feel the need to stay So here we remain in spite of this theft Until one of us walks away
