Oh, I’ve heard of love
The kind that sneaks up on you
and ignites a flame inside your soul
Oh, I’ve heard of love
Endless nights of tear stained pillows
The flame of love turning int a mere flicker, but somehow kept alive
Oh, I’ve heard of love
Hate fueled words spat at you
Accusations with no basis leading to abuse
Oh, I’ve heard of love
The exhaustion of mind games that make you lose control
Your mind becoming numb
Oh, I’ve heard of love
Controlling, manipulative kind of love
Transforming who you are permanently
Changing the good person you once were
Oh, I’ve heard of love
The kind that’s said to last till the end of time
Where are you?
For the love that once set your soul ablaze is gone
Only ash remains
Oh, I’ve heard of love
Yet I don’t see it or feel the fire within
The flame is out
Will it ever flicker again?
Oh, how I’ve heard of love
But who can ignite it anew?
For the flame of love is extinguished
All that remains are the ashes you’re drowning in
