I saw you standing there
A silhouette of my soul
Walking right into my life
Promising memories untold

I watched as you moved and I began to synchronize
Swaying with you in utmost delight
Entranced I watched as you enslaved my heart
I followed your tune as it played Mozart

I saw your smile and it broke my soul
That one so pure could love me so bold
Your strings matched mine and played so well
Together we made a ballad that cast a spell

Yet everything is not as colorful as I thought
The world started deforming through your onslaught
I stared in shock at the magnitude of your power
Awakened by an arrow cast into my heart from your towers

I took great care to pick up my pieces
Running to your side begging forgiveness
I loved you blindly from the depths of my soul
Yet your love for me was riddled with holes

I waited for our love to overcome this pain
True love can overcome anything they say
What a fool I was to give my heart so careless  
When all this time yours was empty and loveless  

Now we part for good this time
I walk away with nothing but lies
Pieces and slivers of my soul lay bare
I wish you well on your journey elsewhere.
