Alone Here I Stand

I hold you in my embrace, Then you pull away, You hide your face, It is I you betray. So happy we were, So much in love, I see you at the altar, A love from above. Now the love we knew, Gone in an instant, Why can't we renew, My heart, no longer present. You at one end, I at the other, Not willing to bend, What is the answer? I look at you, You look away, What did I do, What did I say? So many questions, Not any answers, You cling to the curtains, I think of my failures. You walk out the door, Your bag in hand, It is you I adore, Alone here I stand, Why? 1-15-2009
