Reminding My Heart

Cupid in the corner, sipping cheap champagne

Arrows in his quiver, but he's missing his aim

My chest like a vault, locked under pain

Memories graffiti’d, can't scrub the stain

Reminding my heart what love used to do

Beating in rhythm, but it’s lost the tune

Once a fire, now a flicker in the gloom

Reminding my heart, I’m overdue

Rose petals wilted, dropped on the floor

Echoes of her laughter trapped in the door

A carousel spinning, but it don’t move forward

Tried to outrun the ache, ended up cornered

Clouds in my chest, rain in my veins

Umbrella of denial can’t block the pain

Teach me the dance, show me again

How love spins circles, but never the same

Reminding my heart what love used to do

Beating in rhythm, but it’s lost the tune

Once a fire, now a flicker in the gloom

Reminding my heart, I’m overdue
