If Only You Knew
Love came and went like a lost Autumn leaf
tumbling from a naked limb of death
though beauty was found her kisses turned brief
tender, gentle, then a Winter's breath
in my heart's landscape, my eyes are crying
darkness falls silent when feeling pain
to never understand love was dying
to shrivel away till' nothing remained
memories come, I cast them asunder
to be burned to ashes from love's lost years
where all emotion is buried under
shrouded by my eyes long visible tears
If only you knew what I came to know
I wait for my tears to begin to slow
