Untitled -2 8-27-05

The love I thought  we had
The love I thought was real
When all of a sudden it  turns bad 
And you act like it is no big deal

I lay here, my heart in splinters
Hoping it's all a nightmare
Trying to mend my heart  with sutures
And you act as if you don't care

I cry tears of forever sorrow
Glancing into the shadows
Wondering if there will be a tomorrow 
Surrounded by  cold lifeless statues

I grieve for a love lost
I paid a deep sacrifice
I didn't know how much  love cost
Yet I worked hard to  suffice

Did I waste such labor  for less
Drowning in the river I weep
Alone I travel bearing this cross
Feeling a love and a sorrow  so deep

I turned to what once was my heart 
Bandaged a would . it  cries
Listening intently for beating top start
But  in silence so still it  lies.
