I say "I love you"
and you reply
those same words
and make me cry
now hollow, empty
I hear them ring
as once they caused
my soul to sing
when happily my life
was you
and thought you felt
the same way too
but now it drones
a different song
for those memories
now gone
a dark grey dirge
a funeral pyre
for a heart
lost of desire
no strength to go
no will to stay
so bleak it seems
most everyday
I see no light
at the tunnels end
no saving grace
or way to mend
a life and love
that perished, died
when I said "I love you"
and you replied.
