How do you react
when the chemistry is gone
as quickly as your love began
just like the burning spark
that started the flame
igniting your heart

Do you try and shelter it
keeping it alive in vain
or do you give in
and let it die right there
as it gets soaked
from her dreary tears
as depressing drops of rain
FALL
and end
just knowing that it'll never burn again

How do you feel
when you rush into
the torrents of emotion
getting high on Love's illusion
Today she's all dressed up
tassled with attention
as apparent as your wanton lust
so you crave your precious drug of need
taking hits of infatuation

So do you try and break
the silence
that remains steadfast
with repeated lines
of empty conversation
or do you squirm
emphatically
with no escape
from your current situation
your eyes avoiding hers
but your bodies stuck together
in that tiny little place
when the chemistry is gone

How awkward can that be
when a couple is reduced
into
"Lets just be..."
FRIENDS:
are those who can be
comfortable in the midst of
one another and
in your heart
you'll always know
it will never be
the same as love crushes
your sacred memories together
like stabbing thorns upon
your beating heart
while you think of those
"special songs" with her

So you made a CD...
and now each and every note
reminds you of sometime happy but
HERE YOU ARE
and YOU are NOT
when the chemistry is gone

If you knew that "Breaking up"
was as inevitable as death
and your "Game Over"
was just around the pillowcase
would you arise from the bed
where you laid with her
realizing the connection is
unmendable

Its funny how you wish
at that very moment
it wouldn't end right then
or in the car ride home
on a sunny afternoon
but rather be
as perfect as it was before
and yet the chemistry is gone

So do you move on
or dawdle in despair
Do you think that you will
see her face again
or will you even give a damn
Pondering your next move
on the chessboard of your life
right there upon the painful moment
ideas and insecurities afire
when you both
realize its no longer the same
when the chemistry is gone!

Ryan, a very powerful write...No, it
surely is not the same when that chemistry
is missing from the relationship...and a
very painful moment of life it can be...
and is...
