After The Love Is Gone

You're somehow near but far

And it sometimes feels like watching a stranger

I don't know who you are

But it's plain to see you're suppressing the anger

Can't stand my own resistance

This certain feel of anxiety

You're longing for independence

You're reaching out for liberty

I'm searching for the words

But how could I explain

Although the pain still hurts

I know that something bitter sweet remains

After the love is gone and the heartache is over

And will I be moving on or will I be missing you?

How could it come to this?

What began as spring is now permanent winter

Hour to hour It's hit or miss

And the ice that we dance on is starting to splinter

Could this just be a phase

Or a testament we're bound to fail?

I'm longing for better days

And I wonder what will tip the scales

And if I close my eyes, I feel that we have changed

And something slowly dies ain't it bitter sweet?

Oh, isn't it a shame?
