Yes, falling in love is great, your heart pumps faster, you walk on cloud number nine and most importantly, you have a witness to your life and enjoy companionship. But there is a dark side of falling in love and we've all experienced it. The slow loss of own identity for the other person. This loss is needed for harmony and co-existence. The acting against ones own nature. Some call this becoming a better person, other times it's just simply becoming a different person.You lose many strengths that you had. You might be thinking that the trick is finding the balance between compromise and keeping your identity. Well, you cannot have balance and fall at the same time. Falling (into anything especially love) means loosing balance. So, lose yourself, destroy a part of you... it's inevitable. It's the dark side of falling in love and you feel it as you struggle against it.
Shadow of Love
Tie me to an electric chair
You're my Delilah, cut my hair
From my mind a little seeps
And few words escape my lips
The slow draining of my spirit
A little ebbing, slowly drifting
Screaming oh so softly
Killing me so slowly
Seeking advice, Friends are my Cassandra
And I become little more than the well known nymph
The only reason at times I feel like thunder
Is because an Echo of yours is my dream
Loosing me in gaining you
Giving the very best of my youth
Reaching for the Sacred, searching for the Holy
KIlling myself surely and slowly
A dark place I am, wading the waters
Get on a vessel, without no rafters
My own growth I seem to hinder
It's time to give me 30 pieces of silver
For such betrayal is tragic
But still well know and classic
I'm well aware of this fact
But given me to you, cannot take me back.
