Love Hurts

Love hurts So strangely quiet where are you Gone silently like the morning dew Birds lament whistle your name Sinister feeling part of the game Need to find you my world in pain Loneliness hurts its victim again and again No hint of leaving no formal goodbye You declared your love and so did I Can it be that life was just simple then Or our love recorded with a fictitious pen My soul searches for answers so illusive Persistent melancholy so persuasive Disquieting thoughts my mind assail I picture your face as if through a veil Have you found another rejected me Like a sinking ship in a boisterous sea Like a celebrated poet persistently in rhyme I hear your voice echoing through time If you are committed elsewhere let it be But please tell me now set my soul free Life inexorably goes on or so the sages say Don’t need a truer love to come my way I’ve loved I’ve lost carry the scars and pain Only discontent and haunting memories remain
