Love's Final Goodbye
As a queen by his side, I truly enjoyed the ride
Always loved myself as seen through his eyes
His arrival was perfectly timed
Together, we were magnificently aligned
A man of righteous soul and powerful mind
Body like a temple, strong and defined
The perfect incarnation of love, from whom the meaning of man was derived
Never knew true joy or true pain until the day that he arrived
Until the day we took that ride
Over the clouds we soar, through them we glide
Destiny is fulfilled from the moment our worlds collide
Even now as a grown woman I still question why
Why happy moments occupy the shortest days of our lives
Why we allow love to be broken down by lie after lie
Why all those lonely nights I cry,
To mourn a love that has left me so low after lifting me so high
For years and years believe me I tried
But my mind continued to uncover truths my love couldn't deny
My heart suffered blow after blow but I kept it inside
Cruel words add insult to injury always taken in stride
For so long I was far to willing to swallow my pride
For this man whom I had slowly come to despise
Passively awaiting love's final goodbye
