Envy, a Heavy Cross
I know there is a heaven, you
have taken me there, I know
there is a hell I have lived
that despair.
That despair of knowing you
lie in another's arms, succumb
nightly to some others charms
Each minute I die, drown in
every goodbye, and fill my
pillows with every tear that
I cry.
Absence is a lonely place, a
vast and dreamless space,
with only memories of your
consoling face.
Are his whispers as true as
mine, does his love fill the
soul, do your hearts as one
combine.
I know there is heaven and
hell, that you and loss have
worked your spell, it is only
in memories that I live and
dwell.
Memories can be unkind,
peace and contentment so
hard to find, this life
without you is so confined.
Now I stand the lapping
shore, await the call of
Aphrodite's foam, knowing
that once this heart, you
lived and called your home.
