Dying Love

The life inside has died
It does no good to close my eyes
For in my mind I can still see
The sum of what we used to be

So now from me I must subtract
The part of you that I now lack
And distance between us multiplies
As what was once close now divides

So though again I wish we'd meet
Our souls instead have chose retreat
Our loving stream no longer flows
And the gap between us only grows

For though you were my sweetest friend
The greatest things still have an end
So now I say my last goodbye
To love that never should have died
