My tears fall like rain
Rolling down my cheeks
Still I feel no shame..

A love that is broken
Inside my chest
My heart seems as a jagged token…

The one I love has abandoned me so
I look here and there not knowing where to go..

I cry out in the feeling of what I lost
Knowing just how much it all has cost …

My soul cries, the hurt runs deep
I set here with hands covering my face
As the pain in my life makes me weep..

I will never be the same
A chill runs through my body
With the whisper of your name..

Questions run through my mind
Answers I cannot find…

Why oh why did it end
A lifetime I wanted to spend…

With the one that stole my heart
He won it with soft words and sweet deeds
A love that grew each and every day from the start..

Know it’s going to take a while
Before I have a smile…
