Your Melody
You whispered me a love song
with the sweetest melody
perhaps you should have sung instead
a song of tragedy
The words you uttered reached my soul
and struck an inner chord
but now I'm haunted by your tune
each note a piercing sword
An unrequited lovers song
that taunts me night and day
I long to have my soul at rest
your ghost I try to lay
Your shadow seems to follow
it just wont let me be
you seem to live inside my head
of you I can't be free
Perhaps deep down I can't let go
afraid you'll disappear
for then I will be all alone
your melody no longer hear
But I need for someone else to come
and take the place of you
to sing to me a different song
with words that are brand new.
