The deep feelings of love have
gone.
Like water thrown on a flame
the love has turned to ashes.
What was once is no more and there
is no way to bring it back.

Confusion seemed to fill the days
and feelings were hurt and words
were said that drove a barrier between
them.
The feelings are gone and only emptiness
remains.

When walking on egg shells becomes
the theme for the day.
When weighing every word becomes tiring
then soon the feelings of love dies.
It seems that one part of the equation is always
taking the blame for every little thing that
happens.
Letting the other off the hook so love can be saved.
Doesn't work that way.

Water has been tossed on the flame of love
and it has turned into ashes to be tossed in
the breeze of life's lessons.
