How can I love you less?

Can I ever love you less?
After all the hate we’ve shared?
After all that we have done?
We killed our pride with our pride,
Destroyed our tribe giving bribes.
I helped you down from your horse,
But you forced me down from mine.

I’d found a home on your shoulders
and the castles on your chest,
for in their warmth I found rest.
Your ears became soft pillows
where my heavy laden words
will keep their big heads and sleep.
Can I ever love you less?

During dark days of sorrow,
You had told me tales of light;
I had built my hope on yours,
We had put a roof on it.
On days we needed darkness
You stopped the sun from shining
with just the blink of your eyes.

How them can I love you less?
Even though now you are gone;
Not back to the other side,
But back, with another man.
You promised not to ever
leave, you promised you will stay.
How them can I love you less?
