She Sings So Softly

She sings so softly
yet love is so short

I no longer hear her voice like before.
My heart is painted blue.

If you only knew how I long
to hear another song sung through you.

Through your delicious lips.

Sung as honey. Sweet and pure.
So smooth and yet so raw.

Once you sang so sweetly to me
Now, though I endeavor, I know I'll never

hear another love song.
