The Island of Lost Love
Broken down in a sea of tears,
On the beach of self pity I saw you,
Stranded on the island,
Marooned by your love.
You reached out to me for help,
You thought I was your lifeboat,
The one to heal the pain,
If only that was true,
If only...
I laid down beside you,
Absorbing the hurt and pain.
I made it my own,
I tried to help you,
And suffocated under its weight.
Free from your burden you left me.
Now I'm looking for a lifeline,
Some kind of hope,
Some sign of affection.
Someone to share my pain.
He saw me on my island.
He lay down beside me,
He absorbed my hurt and pain,
Made it his own.
He tried to help me,
He set if free.
We will all visit my beach,
We will all call it home for awhile,
We will all go home eventually.
