Love Doesn'T Conquer All

Love doesn’t always conquer all Sometimes it’s just not enough Feeling you slip away from me More and more each day Into an oblivion where I just couldn’t reach you I do not understand This illness that steals you And keeps your heart closed to mine I thought I could save you But it wouldn’t let you go I wanted to protect you A love to have and to hold Such a fool was I It was stronger than me Keeping you distant and cold A love lost that could never be And now I am alone Now I stand alone

Deeply sad. Sometimes love just isn't enough, for some reason. If both parties are not fully committed, any love is ultimately doomed. Thanks for sharing.
