Confession of a Passionate Pain

In your eyes were promises that seemed faithful and true
But I was blinded by love and deceived by you.
Brokenhearted, I was abandoned at sea 
To drown in passion’s agony

It hurts being the only one in the relationship who wants an encore dance with 
love.
In my heart, I imprison hopes and sweet memories of us.

Because 1000 pieces of my fragile heart shattered and ripped into the flesh of 
my soul
As my pulse dropped deep and my body got cold.
From my swollen eyes, tears began to drip
Caused by four malicious words that spilled from your honeyed coated lips.
And I’ll confess that without you sunny days turns into vigorous rain
Because you’re the one, my only, my passionate pain.

My throat formed knots so I’m fighting to breathe
But your emotions are still cold and you care nothing about me.
My body became numb as my knees fell weak
I choke out your name but you still wouldn’t speak.

You were suppose to be my everlasting love that protected me from harm.
How could you walk over my struggling body into another lover’s arms?

I remain in solitude in the vigorous rain
Soaked with heaven’s teardrops standing near your window pane.
Wishing that you would let me through the front door.
But the more you lie in your new lover’s arms the more I am ignored.
And I’ll confess that I still have you engraved in my brain
Because you’re the one, my only, my passionate pain.

I can’t believe this is our final rose when all I can think about is our first kiss.
Don’t let our love be forgotten, don’t let it be dismissed.
Our flame’s burned out, is it down to this?
I’m left to be roam the earth alone with a withering bliss.
