One day, our eyes met
And our souls danced and rejoiced
Singing "my loved one is found again!"
Never have I felt so safe and protected
Never have I felt so complete
Never have I felt such pure joy
And my days couldn't be any sweeter
My heart would beat at the pace of your voice
And the thought of your touch
Was an avalanche of heat and storms
In my thoughts, there you were
And in my dreams, you still are
But my dreams no longer bring comfort
They're just a memory of shattered hopes
They taunt and torture me
Love was ripped from it's cradle
Twisted inside out
It became the torment of my hours
And all joy has turned sour
The beauty of the shine of stars offends me
The kindness in strangers angers me
Everything that's pure and gentle
Just a reminder of all that I no longer have
In darkness I stumble and fall
Bruises and cuts and scars everywhere
I'm a shadow of my soul
And I don't know where it's at
There's only dust and ashes
The morbid corpse of what once was
The most precious belonging
I never really had.
