"So it’s true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.”
E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly
Bereft am I now that you’ve gone.
You took the sunshine from my dawn
and star-shine from the midnight sky.
Now that you’ve gone, bereft am I.
Where heart once was, there’s now a stone.
Away from me all dreams have flown.
All hope’s abandoned me because
there’s now a stone where heart once was.
My sweet relief- my joy you stole.
How cruel has become your soul
to leave me nothing but this grief.
My joy you stole – my sweet relief.
Each empty night, I lie in bed
and think of all that went unsaid.
How could you leave me with this plight?
I lie in bed each empty night.
My nights stretch long when I can’t sleep.
Sometimes I picture you and weep.
Oh, hear my heartbroken love song.
When I can’t sleep, my nights stretch long.
