When Love Has Gone

When lovers part, time can provide
A healing they can build upon
Discerning pain from injured pride
When it seems all love is gone
She says, she loves him like a brother
He knows he ain’t done nothing wrong
She’s just fallen for another
To him it seems, all love is gone
I see it on my TV screen
It makes me wince and cry
To think of how it should have been
That this could come between you and I
What of brothers, egg and seed
Closer than father and son
From cold hands hot resentment feeds
When it seems all love is gone
And I see it on my TV screen
It makes me wince and cry
To think of how it should have been
That this could come between you and I
Reason’s anger’s casualty
Dark despair may follow on
Hearts as cold as charity
When it seems all love is gone
