I Used To Love You

My heart used to melt
this much is true,
you leave me feeling empty
I used to love you.

There used to be a time
your kisses made my knees weak,
but now our future
seems so cold and bleak.

I don't know what to say
whenever you are near me,
I never say those three little words
they used to make me feel free.

You leave me feeling empty
this much is true,
my heart used to melt
I used to love you.

I don't know why, but I can hear music going along with this poem.

It feels like a death of sorts when we lose a once vibrant love. A well expressed piece.
