The Lonely Love
pour me a cup of tea, and I'll walk with lions through flaming streets-
sip wine with me, and I'll build you a castle filled with memories-
dance with me across the Milky Way, and all your dreams reveal,
the heartache spent on hopeless dreams that made you want for more-
the laughs, the moments filled with joy that brought you to this place,
cannot hide the beauty found in simple acts of faith-
the gold you seek, the shining star, that burns just out of reach-
will fill your cup for just one kiss, the promises now lost-
the time has come, the air now clear, of moments spent in haste-
I never promised you a rose garden, now fill your life with waste-
the stars above revealed the truth, then danced above the truth-
for one brief moment, explosive love, did fill the room with hope-
and Clouds of Angels did proclaim, the future set in stone-
for one brief tear, the Gods did hear,
your river cry alone-
"Catch Phrase"
I never promised you a rose garden
