Severed from the cut of your jib
Alone my aching heart's
Vitality left on a baited breeze
Erasing what was left of me
Memories oh sweet sweet memories
Erase this daunting pain
Plucked from a sacred truth
Left to soar in a clouded blur
Erase this scary dream
Alone my aching heart
Sleeps
Erase these fateful dreams
Is it the whiteness of your smile or the twinkle in your eye
The sound of your voice or the cut of your jib
the cloths you wear, or the things you share
that makes you so precious
Is it the glint in your eye
The loudness of that giggle,
the tears of laughter shared
that makes you so amusing
Is it the kindness in your heart
your gentle soul, and loving touch
the need to help when your family need you most
that makes you so adoring.
it's the words you speak, of love and life
and the time we spend together
that helped shape that part of our lives
but the thing I remember most is your Betrayal.
Is it the whiteness of your smile or the twinkle in your eye
The sound of your voice or the cut of your jib
the cloths you wear, or the things you share
that makes you so a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e
Is it the glint in your eye
The loudest of that giggle,
the tears of laughter shared
that makes you so amusing
Is it the kindness in your heart
your gentle soul, and loving touch
the need to help when your family need you most
that makes you so adoring.
it's the words you speak, of love and life
and the time we spend together
that helped shape that part of life
but the thing I remember most is your Betrayal.
