Breakup

Today you will smile
No longer you’ll lie
The pain comes and goes
In this kind of life

The candle burns brightly
All through the night
Sending a message
Of love and delight

Tomorrow’s a new day
The mind will shift gears
The lessons you learned
Will now bring you tears

They married each other
In front of their friends
Their family was there
To watch it begin

Like stars in the rain
They danced into space
Not knowing the pain
Of falling from grace

Now they must struggle
Their love disappeared
The hearts they gave up
Are now filled with fear

The heat from the fire
Was worse than the touch
You’re now just a liar
You loved her so much

An end to the seethe
Allows you to breathe
You’ve packed up your things
So now you can leave

Time teaches lessons
To those who accept
That faith can heal wounds
That are hard to forget

Let us remember
To live without doubt
That true love will exist
That’s what it’s about
