When Passion Dies
Where do you turn when the passion dies?
Sifting through the ashes of truths and lies?
When your relationships take a shift?
Excitement and lust both blown adrift?
What do you do when it’s not the same?
When you feel you are rapidly losing the game?
Do you turn to drink to numb the pain?
Denying and hiding in attempts to remain sane?
When the one you once called your precious muse?
Now sparks even less than a broken fuse?
When some days the sadness bites so deep?
And comes out as anger that weeps and seeps?
Where do you turn when the passion dies?
When what was loved you now despise?
Sifting through the ashes of truths and lies?
When your relationships take a shift?
Excitement and lust both blown adrift?
What do you do when it’s not the same?
When you feel you are rapidly losing the game?
Do you turn to drink to numb the pain?
Denying and hiding in attempts to remain sane?
When the one you once called your precious muse?
Now sparks even less than a broken fuse?
When some days the sadness bites so deep?
And comes out as anger that weeps and seeps?
Where do you turn when the passion dies?
When what was loved you now despise?

dearest RJM I feel your deep pain here
I ache with you passion does fade
I don't know where it goes when it leaves...
I don't have those answers even for me...
I'll leave you with a song I'm listening to...

Thank you Brenda. Sometimes the answers aren't as important as the being heard so thank you for listening. I'll be sure to listen to your music when I'm home, there is something beautiful in sharing music.
Re. When Passion Dies
Ugh. After being gone for over a week in a slump myself, and see your heartbreak first thing. I'm so sorry. I feel your pain and it hurts like hell. I finally gave up on a muse being a person because words are too precious to lose , even though I could sure use one now. Peace, sweet friend.

the hardest part of reality to face when
fog arises arises and nothings clear
haaaaa. deep breaths...these are moments
when we need reminders..no matter the
sacrifice

Sometimes the negatives can stand out more starkly than the positives. Thanks for commenting.
