One Last Time
I pondered on how I could
revive our love,
wandered over the mountains,
through the clouds above-
I needed much more than you
could ever give,
a reason for completeness,
had so much joy to give-
I forgot how sensitive lost
time could ever be,
regretting all the moments
of strange possibility-
I was sanctified,
as you lied,
I wept,
I cried-
was I too blind to see?
All the dismay in front of me…
oh, you left,
and I tried-
tried to save our love one last time.
A loss so great to endure
in such madness,
a cost paid so pure created
in sadness-
a panic of wisdom and
a relief so deep,
I didn’t want to hear you,
for your secret, I did keep.
Forgiveness reeks down my
trembling spine,
I was listening,
you defied-
oh, you left,
and I tried-
tried to save our love one last time.
Free me and lose me,
need me and choose me-
toss me aside,
a love so denied-
oh, you left,
and never tried-
to save our love…
one last time.
