Begging

I've met the  cold shoulder
with silent regard
And believed that I could break the ice 
if I tried very hard

Silence meets the cold unbareable stare
A smile would be living
if I were not there
The warm of the fire
has been compleatly extinguished

The prayer was there 
all I needed was a spark
but all she did was sit there 
on the mourners bench of my heart
And the revelation was
That the demon was more welcome than I

I believed and tried
I believed and tried

Words of dedication, words of lies
Words of love 
so beautiful from Heaven above

Surely they've melted the hearts of all
save one
the only one
the one that mattered
the one I loved
