The Love That Died

I’ll never forget when we first met 
Fireworks lit up the dark night skies 
As I held you tightly in my arms 
I could see the love in your eyes 

With you my world finally felt whole 
I believed your love would be my last 
Our life together was that of dreams 
But all good things are never steadfast 

It started with a little quarrel we’d have 
Then in a flash our love had gone bad 
Your smile had suddenly became extinct 
And being with me only made you sad 

Our fights were growing more intense 
And all we did was scream and yell 
That love that once pleased my heart 
For us had now become a living hell 

The woman I thought I’d love forever 
And the one who I had made my wife 
Has now become a distant stranger 
Who is painfully no longer in my life
