Love Condemned

There's no more pretending
or acting out parts.
There are just bitter endings
for two foolish hearts.
And, as I wade through
these half-written songs,
I can see the direction
we took all along.

The timing seemed perfect
for two willing hearts
to try and find comfort
and love of some sort.
We knew there was danger
in things that we tried, 
but time overtook
our love and it died.
