We sat together in the cold.
I tried to mine your heart of gold.
I chipped away for an hour or so.
And finally found a shimmering glow.

You leaned over and gave me the sign
that you've made it, finally, to the finish line.
Your love was mine and mine was yours.
We melted and formed the golden ore.

But something was missing. You turned away.
My heart started pounding, my mind astray.
You just couldn't do it. You left me alone.
Alone and cold; just a stepping stone.

Petrified and dead. No one around.
I sat there mute, not a single sound.
One single tear falls down my cheek.
Never have I felt so feeble and meek.

Recover from the loss? It's possible now.
My heart was broken, but mended somehow.
You filled my life with pleasure and pain.
But I'll always love you. No pain, no gain.
