The Ache

You've settled down into something secure
But a gnawing feeling leaves you quite unsure
Out of the race, off the market, for ages now
Diving back in rekindles buried doubts
You thought time would help to make things clear
But after all this time, the ache won't disappear

Found yourself in love, lost without a map
Falling back on that ingrained romantic crap
Time's an investment, but after all you've spent
So many questions won't let you be content
You're wondering now if you've made a mistake
When your big romance jut leaves you with an empty ache

You're feeling stale, like a stalemate, with each embrace
From the back of your mind, to staring you in the face
Restlessness, oh yes, but more profound
Ship isn't sinking, oh no, it's run aground
Your relationship is hollow at the core
What the hell do you stay together for?
When you finally admit
That the love of your life is a farce
That's when the ache just tears you apart
