The Love I've Lost
The whole of her in my eyes
The thought of her in my mind
I feel the despair of no kind
I cry
I feel the love no other have known
For I have loved her, and loved her alone
None other have stayed to hold her as I’ve done
Did they really just think it was easy and fun?
To be lonely in this love I have for her
To bear her weight and mine
To others, I’d smile, I said it was fine
But how could I watch my one true love die?
To crumble to fall, and in all of your faults
I STAYED, my love I stayed
It was hard to carry us both, but I couldn’t leave you
I considered the option, BUT ONLY JUST ONCE
I wanted to experience the life of the fun
But I’d never leave you my love, I never did, not even once
And when you’d say, how you were wronged. By all the others who didn’t know you. I listened
And when you’d say, how I was wrong, well I’d listen to that too
When you said how pathetic, and stupid I was. I believed it.
And when you said I deserved all those marks, I believed that too.
And I was broken, as were you
I blamed myself
And though it hurt, I couldn’t see it, until IT got worse
Then I had to leave
I couldn’t stay
Not even just, to hear you say
“I love you,” my love, I truly do
