How did we come so far away from where we were.
Was I alone, I could have sworn you were with me.
I could not have been the only one there, did I make it up.
Was it an act were you never really like that.
Was I wrong in beleaving the passion was so true.
It burned so bright it used to scare me.
Sometimes it felt like I being pushed over a cliff.
Endless hours spent looking into each other eyes.
Endless days spent in bed just trying to extingush the flames.
I feel like I was fooled, it stopped the day we got married.
Now there is no trace, it left as quickly as it started.
Hours and days spent talking about unimportant things.
Daily life stamping down what should be felt.
Routine weekends of dinners and movies desquised as true Love.
We used to have longing in our stares, touches, and kisses.
You replaced them with pecks and quick I love You's
I don't remember signing off on passion when we took our vows.
My passion still burns deep, but it is so unanswered.
How can you not see the longing in my looks.
How can you not hear the pain in my I love you's.
You cannot drown this in me.
Even if I have to take it to another source.
Take off the blinders and see the real me.
My soul needs to be fueled, don't leave my passions unreturned.

wow this is really good,
if it is personal i apologize this must be hard,
sometimes love can be so bitter and false,
but you must keep hope or you end up feeling hollow,
i hope all is well,
good luck in the contest,
xxxxxx Vamp
