Clandestine meetings Secrets and lies Forbidden love Slicing unbreakable ties Stealing love from another Ignorance your bliss Always hiding in cover
Blowing up lives Causing pain Years of happiness Now down the drain Excitement disguised As love evermore Nothing can compete Like a rabid carnivore
Passion turned to hate Anger and cruelty abound Someone’s marriage in tatters You, continuing to confound As quick as it began One day you’re gone Without a goodbye The end of a love song
How do i erase you from my mind? How do I delete you from my memory? How do I forget the love we shared? After the feelings I bared
You have rejected me and scorned me I am banished from your life I have become invisible and out of sight The sting is as bad as the bite
You look right through me as if I did not exist You are blind to my presence Obscured from your view I am now insignificant as I become your relinquishment
You were brave and strong Valiant and proud I loved you deeply To you I was avowed You fought for my heart and lost your life You gave everything To take me as your wife
My life without purpose Now you have departed I wander aimlessly Living broken hearted I leave this rose to honor your emotion The price you paid The ultimate devotion
They are saved in a box Hidden from view They come out now and again when I am feeling blue Your letters from long ago and photographs of old each has a memory and a story to be told
Promise of something Hopes for everything Goals to accomplish Maybe a wedding ring But our love was too weak and you began to stray Influenced by an enmity I knew you wouldn’t stay
Jealousy and loathing Slowly everything was destroyed Disharmony and resentment The end we could no longer avoid The letters and photos Just mementos of a time gone by Forgotten and ignored They no longer gratify
I saw you slowly changing From the man you used to be The partner in my life Now void of clemency You no longer took prisoners When you went to war Trampled on the underdog To settle any score
I invented excuses To explain your attitude Your combative personality Could dampen any mood It was a riddle to most What happened in your head A human conundrum No one could ever be your stead
I pine for you my lover Who held my heart near Never hurting my feelings Or giving me fear I yearn for your homecoming To the place you are treasured Held safe and loved I fear you have perished
She longed for the halcyon days When he would drape her in love When the sun would smile on them Kissing their skin When the birds would sing their song and the flowers dance When they would find shade under the Royal Poinciana and watch the parade of soldiers marching
She longed for the halcyon days before he left her alone and bereft When she thought she could cry no more tears When her heart became empty Fragile and brittle as bone A woman broken From the loss of someone Taken from this life too soon
She longed for the halcyon days Before the war The one nobody understood Why they were even there So long ago now But time did not heal her wounds She still ached for him and what might have been A life lost forever A love that still endures
