Laid To Rest

My heart lies cold and lifeless
And not beating in my chest
Your cold and hateful words 
Has laid my tender heart to rest

I had loved you for so long 
Waiting for your loving touch
Not caring the days gone by
Not worried overly much

But the days turned into weeks
And finally into years
And then my eyes grew dim
And I could not stop the tears

You had found yourself another
 And I Believing you were mine
You had found this so amusing
That I had wasted all this time

Such sweet lies had  passed your lips
But they too are as cold as mine
For I didn’t die alone my dear
I made sure you ran out of time

Now you heart lies cold and lifeless 
And not beating in your chest
Your cold and hateful words 
Has laid your spiteful heart to rest.
