My Love Has Dried Up
Love's Eclipse: A Poetic Journey of Fading Affection
Lyrics
Does the moon wink at you where you are?
Questioning if the moon interacts with the person at their location.
Do the stars blink at you where you are?
Asking if the stars have a connection or communication with the person.
Do your sunsets drip like peaches dipped in honey?
Imagery of beautiful sunsets, questioning if the person experiences them like sweet peaches dipped in honey.
Do we see the same sky when we're lonely?
Wondering if both share the same sky when feeling lonely.
Cause I've been thinking lately that you really seem to hate me
Expressing a perception that the person seems to harbor dislike or resentment.
Some say distance makes the heart grow fonder
Referencing the common saying that distance strengthens love, but questioning its application in their case.
But we can't seem to do this any longer
Highlighting the difficulty of continuing the relationship despite the distance.
I know I'm the one who went away, but I never promised I'd stay
Acknowledging personal responsibility for leaving but emphasizing the absence of a promise to stay.
So it's time I take my heart back
Deciding to reclaim one's heart after giving it to the person for an extended period.
Cause I gladly gave it to you for so long
Reflecting on the past willingness to give the heart to the person.
But like a flower with only sun
Using a metaphor of a flower with only sun to describe the drying up of love.
My love has dried up
Explicitly stating that the love has dried up.
Do your friends tell you you could do better?
Inquiring if the person's friends suggest they could find a better partner.
Do they say my moods change like the weather?
Questioning whether there are comments about mood changes being as unpredictable as the weather.
Do you think that I'm so untrustworthy
Pondering if the person views the speaker as untrustworthy.
I deserve to hear things that will hurt me?
Expressing a willingness to hear potentially hurtful truths.
I know I'm the one who went away, but I never promised I'd stay
Reiterating the departure without a commitment to stay.
So it's time I take my heart back
Deciding to reclaim the heart due to the ongoing challenges.
Cause I gladly gave it to you for so long
Recalling the prolonged period of willingly giving the heart to the person.
But like a flower with only sun
Repeating the metaphor of a flower with only sun to convey the dried-up love.
My love has dried up
Affirming the current state of dried-up love.
Like a bird without a song
Using a bird without a song as a metaphor for a relationship in a troubled state.
We just got fucked up
Describing a difficult situation or conflict in the relationship.
So it's time I take my heart back
Reiterating the decision to take the heart back.
Cause I gladly gave it to you for so long
Recalling the extended period of willingly giving the heart to the person.
But like a flower with only sun, my love has dried up
Concluding with the repetition of the flower metaphor, emphasizing the dried-up love.
