Fires Burn Empires

Broken hearts never easily mend
Especially when true love comes to an end
Causing feelings within to become tumultuous
As if you've been hit by a Mac truck and a bus

It can happen to any of us no matter how hard we try
Outcomes aren't guaranteed; even for good girls and good guys
Seeking ribbons in the sky during downpours of rain
Fractures psyches and inflicts souls with pain

Residue stains remain long after concluding trips
Baggage impedes the flow of the strongest of ships
Dip and crawl momentarily then absolve all the shame
Toss embarrassment overboard; love is a crazy game

Many endure the same and understand your plight
Champion heavyweights must decide when not to fight
Despite desires of wanting to be sires of our empires
At times, we gotta extinguish the fires and just retire
