Pedestal of Love

Was I not an apple of your eye Securely placed in the pedestal of your love Washed with the showers of your affections Housed in the confines of your heart For a while I was your beginning and ending The truth known to your lips Implanted in your veins Beating along with your pulse I was a joy to behold A treasure worth to be told Yet time stole my shine I am no longer your smile Once upon a glorious time In not so far place and time Were we not birds of the same feather Flying with each other's wind I was in the pedestal of your love Securely placed in the sacredness of your heart Now I am a sore to your eyes A sharp sting to your heart Was I not a song on your lips A joyful sweet feeling to sip You use to clutch me to your heart Hold me as if never to let go What happened to the love Who stole all our shine I cannot longer feel the warmth of your love So lonely is my flight
