Parting Ways

It began as a foolhardy search for affection and trust A cure to the misery and the vast emptiness inside Misguided affinity of two solitary souls Longing for fellowship and warmth to abate the grief We got caught up in delusions Still hoping to build a better tomorrow When feelings formed into something That was not to be In times when love is just not enough Pain becomes these parting ways, slowly diverging And so, night by night we began to just drift apart Until our sorrows were all that endured To thrive something had to give Still it did not waver; keeping distance Teetering on the edge of ruin We squandered our precious devotions Hurting, aching - though never unrequited In the silent moments in between In times when love is just not enough Pain becomes these parting ways, slowly diverging And so, night by night we began to just drift apart Until our sorrows were all that endured Promising to amend our blunders And too weak to truly accept Devoid of strength we may have felt remorse But never truly learned from all our mistakes There is no blame at the end of this As we depart down this sad and lonely path In times when love is just not enough Pain becomes these parting ways, slowly diverging And so, night by night we began to just drift apart Until our sorrows were all that endured
