One Moonlit Road Collab

Sitting under the moon so bright, 
Our eyes locked in a midnight minute. 
Our hearts collided and we were one. 
As young love had now begun. 
Blinded by love and by passion, 
Her heart had been shattered. 
Her future had been taking away in an instant. 

Walking aimlessly on roads not straight.
Dried up kisses that dissolved with fate.
I measured love from heights to tall.
Leaving hopeless dreams that we're left to fall.
I stand alone with shoulders empty.
But the cracks of a heart will mend and be free.

Moonlight shines against the darkness of the road
Showing the way to travel home
So many questions left unanswered
But a longing to be free
No more loving words entwined with lie's
Broken promises weaved into my soul like a work of art
I wish I knew hurt was your lovers disguise
Id of saved my tears and stopped my cries
No more toying with the frayed stitching of my life
When you wrapped yourself round my heart
I should of stopped it from the start.
~*~
I stand alone, happy to be me
Free..
