love promised

I'm here alone
blindly looking for lost days

I wish you were here
but I have nothing for you
but shattered dreams

my heart is torn
in my eyes sadness and grief
the smiling face in the mirror
hurts more and more

obstacles between us grow
from day to day

stars illuminate
new paths to follow
the night will bring a poor night's sleep

happiness
was so close
that every memory hurts.
