Love Truly Lost, Forever Vanishes
Love Truly Lost, Forever Vanishes
With you gone, orange sun sets to die
don't ask me silly questions why
Is it not enough that I bled for your touch
never asking for joy too much
That I once silently sat watching you sleeping
every heartbeat reassuring me that you live!
Your love secrets, I gathered into my safe keeping,
giving you all I ever had to give!
With you gone the earth sits barren and crying,
bitter cry so very dark and shrill
Dark clouds descend- Announcing our love dying,
as fate hurried to hand me the bill
Surely you know I'll never dare to pay,
for sadness, heartache and misery so very deep
You sent silence- nothing left to say,
then walked away knowing my spirit would weep!
A new day has now arrived to gently recast
to another, the love you promised to forever last.
