This hate desert was once a place where love reigned A life shattered was whole ,clean, un-stainedΒ Β This skin was once smooth without a single scar My cloudy life was a clear sky hardly lacking a star My journey was once an inspiration that stirred faith It was joy but now feels like death My future was a place where ripe promise draped Before my beautiful butterfly escaped My past,a melancholy history book with tattered pages Yet magically each page fixed It's crumpled edges Right before your departure, before my spirit died Time was a rollercoaster and we were thrilled to ride Peace was the rising sun casting her rays through the curtains And your embrace more comforting than mittens Days were longer while you lingered in my head But nights brief with your body close by on my bed We were warm from January all year to december Hard to believe the joy makes me cry to remember Looking at those moments we gladly had together I feel we deserved to flow past rapids and falls to forever Like the Nile all way to "happily-ever-after" Delta For an ending, think we probably deserved better I still strongly doubt it was all but sweet true lies Only the last hurt me among our many goodbyes
