In This Life

In this life she will not regain the love she gave
She will not know what loving herself will feel like 
Because all her love will end with a spike 
Something to poke her 
Someone to provoke her 
The love she gave will never be regained

In this life he will not know of love or how it is shown 
For no one showed him what it ment 
So off he went 
He does not know the feeling 
But he ends his nights in weeping 
He does not show or know of love 

Nights grow cold and both grow old not knowing of each other 
But always wishing for another 
They both want someone who feels the same 
But they need someone who they cannot blame 
For neither of them know of what they yearn
But only what they will never earn 
So they never meet as this states 

but maybe they do off in a place 
Off in place after their life 
Off to a place where in their sight… 
Is each other and there they meet 

For in this life it shall not be
