Tell me when forever stopped any why the love just ended
The weary eyes and quivering lips that we should have transcended
The voice that constantly told me my love is for you alone
That voice that echoes through the halls of my now empty home

Tell me when uncondtionally suddenly was cut short
And how every single snide remark and every stabbing retort
Would change the love we solemnly swore we had into a lie
Which made the screaming of a broken heart our nightly lullabies

Tell me when the great roaring ocean became bone dry
When the words stopped coming from my lips and instead in tears I'd cry
When nothing was left to be said except that we knew of each other no more
Leaving the only sound the closing of hope's door

Tell me you still love me and you will tell no truths
Furthering my discomfort and taking away memoirs that soothe
For I am lost in a world where promises go untouched
In which a forever submerged in love seems not to mean too much
