I awoke to find myself alone, no words of sad farewell
The window offered nothing but the dawn
The sun had risen barren of the future, to foretell
To leave my heart exclusively withdrawn
Although I can recall when adoration was declared
When you and I had known loves sweet reply
But now, it seems the feelings have been suddenly impaired
As we have been deserted, Heart and I

I rise to the uncertainty, of what life has related
The antithesis of what I’d hoped would be
The echo of your memories continue, unabated
Within their solitary repartee
I seem to be a man who has lost the understanding
Of how and why love sadly went astray
Perhaps it just became for you, that love was too demanding
With what diminished years were to portray

Years that once unfurled for us in youth, and warm embrace
Times that now have left us far behind
I try hard to remember the sweet smile upon your face
So far my tattered memory has declined
I don’t know what we could’ve done, to rescue loves elation
I can’t recall things said, or left unsaid
And nightly dreams of you cannot offer me salvation
They only overwhelm me in my bed

I question whether things I said gave rise to your departure
I’ve searched my mind to what I may have done
Tough I have thus allowed my heart to be sadly, the martyr
In this viscous game that now has seen you gone
I wonder, what will now become of loves kind resolution
Could I, can I know the reasons why
That sorrow now has come to me, with savage execution
To leave us here alone,
My Heart and I...
