Untitled -2 8-27-05
The love I thought we had
The love I thought was real
When all of a sudden it turns bad
And you act like it is no big deal
I lay here, my heart in splinters
Hoping it's all a nightmare
Trying to mend my heart with sutures
And you act as if you don't care
I cry tears of forever sorrow
Glancing into the shadows
Wondering if there will be a tomorrow
Surrounded by cold lifeless statues
I grieve for a love lost
I paid a deep sacrifice
I didn't know how much love cost
Yet I worked hard to suffice
Did I waste such labor for less
Drowning in the river I weep
Alone I travel bearing this cross
Feeling a love and a sorrow so deep
I turned to what once was my heart
Bandaged a would . it cries
Listening intently for beating top start
But in silence so still it lies.
