Love's pain

Once
On a bright sunny morning
In early summer
Someone said they loved me
And I believed them
Now
On a cold autumn night
My hands are filled with ashes
Of lost hopes lost dreams
Each day a burden of darkness
I hide in shadows my only friends
The silence of all life surrounds me
Winter so cold it chills my soul
Once I opened my heart
Never again
