Then and Now - Line By Line Collabo With 'Allen Poe'
Back Then...
~In your eyes love once showed~
Dilated visions of a ethical soul
~In your smile her heart did grow~
A steady tempo with a trusting flow
~In your touch passion poured~
Beyond liters of love is to feel adored
~In your arms she was home~
Feeling secure her love would never roam...
~Now... she's lost and can't find her way~
Pledged Allegiance to a heart shallow and decayed
~No longer home by your side~
Deprived from her solace in a matter of days
~Her voice not heard, pain builds inside~
Everything once given has now been taken away
~Resentment builds as love becomes a maze~
Scriptures of advice now in a haze
~Foundation crumbles on lies built~
Momentarily she stands afflicted with guilt
~She’s stricken with doubt, fear and question~
Reaching for tools to destroy yet yearning for repair
~She is in despair~
