What is the depth of love,
how deeply can we feel the pain?
When love seems so right,
there in the night.
Why do we not see,
when love leaves?
How do you stop the hurt
that goes to the very core?
The being of love
that changes over night.
From a raging hunger
deep within your soul.
To an ache that will throb in despair.
How do you rid yourself
of the pain?
Long after love has left
walking out the door.
Wanting to die and stop feeling
only the hurt within.
But we must go on even though
we think we will never love again.
The blackness that engulfs us
raging below in the depth below.
How deep can love cut us
with the knife we know as love?
