Starving for Love

We were supposed to be forever,

Our dreams were supposed to come true;

Embers of hope flicker in the dark,

Yet here we stand, far from where we flew.

Can’t believe I fell for it again,

All your words so beautiful,

Vacant echoes that whisper through the night,

Is this the love you meant to fuel?

You said you’d change, I thought it was true,

But when the dawn breaks, I see only blue.

Promises shatter, they crumble and fade,

Thinking of memories, still tangled in shade.

You got me starving for love,

Left me cold while you’re having your fun;

I don’t deserve this, no,

You know I don’t deserve this.

Tell me what I did,

I know I’m not perfect,

But I loved you the way I know how,

So tell me, what do I do?

I’m sorry, you were never loved right,

Fighting shadows, lost in the night.

You went days in silence, heart tightly wrapped,

I told you I was here, still you napped.

Did you ever see me shining through?

Did you ever hear the heart that cried for you?

Every tear that fell softly to the ground,

Every whisper, lost but not drowned.

You got me starving for love,

Left me cold while you’re under the sun;

I don’t deserve this, no,

You know I don’t deserve this.

Tell me what I did,

I know I’m not perfect,

But I loved you the way I know how,

So tell me, what do I do?

Now it’s too late, or so you say,

But the love I had will never decay.

I’ll rise from these ashes you’ve left behind,

Searching for the truth that’s still blind.
