Your Love Was Like a Rocket

Promises don’t last forever
You took them all away
Leaving me alone to sift through
All those yesterdays
Two lives so close together
Only echoes now
The world spun on in silence
As your heart came unbound

Your love was like a rocket
Burning bright just to die away
I always gave a softer light
It still lives on today

Words whispered and words unspoken
When our stars aligned
Washed away without a ripple
From the face of time
The end crept in on tip-toe
Hardly made a sound
Doorways closed, your rage was born
Then quiet all around
