One Broken Heart

I had a crazy dream last night
In it you were holding me tight
Loving me with all of your might
Oh, baby it felt so right

I woke up to find you gone
You have left me here all alone
Gotta learn to live on my own
Lost the sweetest love I’ve ever known

Sleep escaped me after my dream
Tossing and turning every way it seems
Guess I didn’t fit into your scheme
This hurts even my self-esteem

Saw your face each time I closed my eyes
Every night since you said your goodbyes
Your leaving caught me by surprise
Feels as if it will be my demise

Promised myself not to cry any more
Didn’t know that would be such a chore
Your leaving has rocked me to my core
Now the lonely tears have begun to pour

Dawn came on a new day
The fifth since you went away
Lord, help me make it, I prayed
Wish I didn’t feel like I was betrayed

Two empty arms aching to hold you
Two soft lips needing to kiss you
Two gentle hands longing to caress you 
One broken heart still in love with you
