Requiem To Broken Dreams (love thrown away)
I sit now and write you this letter
For I feel I deserved better
Is it that you couldn’t face the day
Is it why you throw my love away
Our life had just begun
We were having so much fun
Could it be you couldn’t face the day
So you just throw our love away
Your best interest I had
Never I meant to make you sad
So you couldn’t face the day
So you throw our love away
I never meant to hurt you
I told you I would never desert you
I told you I would not lie
All I ask is that you give my love a try
You were my precious buttercup
But you said red flags went up
Now this is quit the fact
On you I never turned my back
Are you afraid to face the day
Is it why you throw my love away
I don’t know what I’ve done wrong
All I did was sing you a love song
Again alone and afraid of the dark
Broken dreams has now made its mark
Lonely corridors trod I ones more
Opportunities passed throw now a closed door
Curator now of broken hearts
Guardian of hopes lacking smarts
True lies sought for broken alibis
Pondered efforts the blind child cries
Weep no more my willow tree
Reckless decision made for you and me
For you all was not as it seemed
So goodbye to you the summer I had dreamed
Winter approaches with hurricanes thrust
Season gone without acquiring trust
Autumn looms with a chilling touch
Romance fades questioned too much
