Wither

Love at times seems to wither and fade
Into the darkness as days grow old
The long memories are oft forgotten
The once warm trail now gone cold.

When all seems to be moving forward
When everything unhappy goes unseen
Your days appear to be brighter for once
Underneath that veil it's not so clean
For your one true love does not exist
Each love might be the one forever missed

Your mind wants their happiness
Your mind wants them to feel bliss
Yet you are left so utterly alone
That no place can ever feel like home

When all seems to be moving forward
When everything unhappy goes unseen
Your days appear to be brighter for once
Underneath that veil it's not so clean
For your one true love does not exist
Each love might be the one forever missed

Every time you gaze into their eyes
You feel as if all time completely stops
Your moment with them is all that's real
All the worries and throes seem forever lost
But then you see them with someone other
The person who they truly love and admire
It sets you in a wired cage - senseless
As all of your dreams are burned in fire.

When all seems to be moving forward
When everything unhappy goes unseen
Your days appear to be brighter for once
Underneath that veil it's not so clean
For your one true love does not exist
Each love might be the one forever missed.
