The Void
I gave you my heart.
I expected tender love and care,
But when I asked it back from you,
I knew it wasn't there.
For it had fled to another;
To someone that I don't even know.
We used to be so close,
But the distance started to grow.
I knew that once I heard of him-
Our spark would go away.
Then I started to think that it wasn't there to stay.
It simmered for a while-
Your love had filled a hole.
You and I both know;
That shouldn’t have been our goal.
Your heart is kept by vow,
You’re as lonely as you can be.
I tried to make you mine-
But you aren’t the one for me.
