Love, Then and Now

Tears flow down my cheek
Sadness lies ahead
Why am I so weak?
I live, though my heart is dead

Passive in a corner I wait
To be happy again
depends upon him, his state
My own I've never been

Timid near him I lie
How I got here, who knows
troubled by guy after guy
Wondering if my pain shows

Mustering will, I'm on my own
Lonliness kills me more
Not happy with him, depressed alone
Broken wings cannot soar

Finding strength, and settle in
Embrace who I am to be
Look up towards the sky, I grin
I'm finally free to be me

Love, who needs it, I'll get by
It only hurt anyway
Love it's just a bag of lies
It only leads you astray

Happiness, hooray, My heart it lives
Then enters another guy
A foghorn warning my mind it gives
Don't falter to anothers lies

Falter I did not, kept him at bay
Though he proved to be quite geniune
In such a short time, my heart swept away
My love he did win

Love, yeah I need it
It completes me through and through
When trouble forms I sit
and Thank God, I can count on you

You the one who saved me
From dieing in despair
You the one who loved me
And proved that people care

Thank you for your passion
and your love that has no end
All my pain is finally done
Wiped away by my husband.
