True Love Lost
I gave all my love
I gave you my best,
You stole my heart
I put trust to the test;
I was faithful, committed
You were all I could see
All your hurt and fears
You were finally free;
With you in my arms
Time stood still,
How was I wrong
That this wasn’t so real;
You saved my life
In so many ways,
What was the purpose
It lead to malaise;
As darkness ensues
Empty and alone,
Even deeper depression
Than I’ve ever known;
Show me the reason
Explain to me why,
We were brought together
Just to say goodbye;
I’m far from perfect
I revealed my flaws,
You know in your heart
Their lies aren’t the cause;
Yes, there were variables
Challenges and druthers,
Yet the biggest of all
You listened to others;
Everything you told me
I believed it true,
Until news of him
You chose to pursue;
The greatest of hurts
Is we’ll never be,
You chose another man
Over true love, over me;
Never forget us
Everything we had,
All of their envy
They won and it’s sad.
