Love Depleted
(Empty)

Why did it end
Where did it go wrong
This has to be, most certainly
A too often repeated song
Either one or both stopped giving
Yet, continued to want to take
That's when the heart of your loved one
Began to hurt, crumble and break
The love begins to fade as the attention
Is less and less often shown
As that person that used to feel special
Begins to feel like they're owned
The time that used to be spent in pleasure
Is replaced with insecurity and fear
Wondering, what did I now do
To upset this person so dear
Then the generous giving as love should be
Turns to resentment and doubt
Is it really that hard to understand
That's not what love is about
If you care only for youself
And I only care for you too
Then you alone get all of the love
That's supposed to be shared by Two
