When Love Has Been

I’ll be a distant memory A dream that was and is now a tragedy An event A disappointment Something sorry, unwise and naïve Nothing worthy of your love The heart you once felt The hearts that have since all left The hand you once held Let go to save yourself a bitter end There’s no fence in my defense There was only defiance when you took a chance Because the rain dance you danced was answered, yes In all the red from lips you wore and the glow of your dresses In the form of a storm Now all’s washed away in a foam And when the raindrops soon extinguish the flame Who…? Love’s to blame! Forgive my confession of sin yet unseen Accept my obvious lack of a backbone of real man When you died in my pillow And lost your head like a broken arrow When I lied in a serenade And lost my heart when we laid Yes, I loved you when love did come No, I loved you when love did harm Yes, I love until the heart overwhelm No, I love until the end romance’s paradigm Remember me, Forget us because we Were never meant to be Forgive yourself in spite of what true love didn’t see You are free from being her slave Then again, forget me, you were truly brave
