Choices

Every picture on the wall,

Feels like watching memories fall.

Your smile lingers in my mind,

But the warmth is hard to find.

I replay every word we said,

The promises that filled my head.

Now the distance speaks so loud,

Like a storm inside a cloud.

I reach for you through empty air,

Still pretending you’re still there.

Tell me if there’s something left,

Or if our hearts have come undone.

Why don’t you love me anymore?

The fire we had burns so low.

Did I lose you somewhere before?

Tell me what I need to know.

Why don’t you love me anymore?

Every answer slips away.

Standing at a closing door,

Watching all our colors fade.

Maybe time has changed your heart,

Maybe we were torn apart.

But I still hear your voice at night,

Calling through the fading light.

And if goodbye is what you choose,

I’ll learn to live with what I lose.

Still a part of me remains,

Searching through the pouring rain.

Why don’t you love me anymore?

Was our forever just a dream?

I’m still waiting like before,

Caught between what was and seems.

Why don’t you love me anymore?

Though the truth may hurt to hear,

I’d rather know than wonder more,

Than spend my life wishing you were here.

So if this is where we end,

Let your honesty descend.

One last answer, one last sign,

Before I leave these dreams behind.

Why don’t you love me anymore?

The question echoes through my soul.

Even if it breaks my heart,

At least I’ll finally know.
