Can I believe that love has faded<BR>Like the last summer flower<BR>That feelings once strong now jaded<BR>Have given way to another power<P>Have I been so blind to not see<BR>The demise of love's ebb and flow<BR>This final chapter of what is to be<BR>When ashes replace a flame that did glow<P>Emotions drift away like sand<BR>Replaced by this hollow shell<BR>I look at the ring once placed on my hand<BR>The endless circle of my private hell<P>Love has a price I no longer can bear<BR>of guilt and dreams that are lost<BR>Deep in the night I lie there and stare<BR>wondering if it's been worth the cost<P>BrokenH
