When Love Leaves

When Love Leaves

Colour faded from my world,
But I was blind,
Too caught up in life
To see the signs.

Taxi mom, fetch and carry
To and fro – way to go.
Romance had left long before
Love went out the door.

You held my love captive
In your heart;
It fought to break free
And returned to me.

When trust is broken
The bond is gone;
Nothing can cement the cracks,
There’s no going back.
