I Loved You, You Loved Me Not

To dance the night away To laugh and sing and sway My love is high way up there The gods did hear my little prayer To dance the night with you I knew my love was true You promised there will be no strife That promise you said will be for life To twist and turn in loving dance To know you as one, a loving chance You held me in your arms so tight You loved me throughout the dark of night A night spent in my lovers arms You loved and wondered at my charms A bed full off rose petals red You told me I was the one - you said I will teach you to love aright I come to kiss and say goodnight I love you little one don’t look so sad I promise no hurt I am your dad. The years did pass and day did dawn I see you used me as a pawn My love meant so little to you So with this blade I run you through. Fiction
