When Love Fails

Love is not supposed to fail;
Bring doom and hatred; love prevails.
Never should loves ship set sail....
And yet here am I; a lover failed.

I want to say I tried my best;
Worked to the bones, I found no rest.
In theory I should have been victorious...
But instead I wallow in this mess.

When will love see me through?
Is it always me and never you?
These "what if's" plague my simple mind...
And I hate the lack of follow through.

I can't believe that love has failed;
In retrospect, my life's been paled.
To be honest you sucked out all my color...
And left my poor heart dry and frail.
