Love Story

Love Story

Oh, the beauty of a sweet story of love and loss,
Of finding yourself and dying inside,
Of finding that one everlasting love
That consumes and burns with raw passion,
Only to have it ripped away from you
By a sadistic twist of fate.
Oh, the sweet melancholy mourning
Of those who have known everything of love,
And been left behind with nothing but memories.
And the glory of the love song,
Is never enough to outweigh
The heavy stone sadness that pulls hearts down
And turns love to dust.
It’s just the elation of feeling love
Only to have it slip so easily from your hands,
Leaving you crying out her name
And weeping in the rain-soaked streets.
It’s winning your love back
only to have it snatched away again,
To watch your lover take their last breath
And wish it had been you instead.
