My sadness looms, I can't disguise
The pain that deep inside me lies
It feels like storms crashing within
Each time I remember your defying grin
In this lurking mem'ry, I feel your chagrin,
l've no friend who'll replace your absence
And thus there is no recompense
My tortured heart remains insensate
Will it survive the pain, or, will it immolate?
A new heart may be my only way.
I try to see the bright of day,
But no rainbow spreads into my view.
Although, this is a day anew,
My anguished heart..its recrudescence
Continues yesterday's painful lessons
Could this take another lifetime?
Or will this rhyme find peace sublime?
One golden heart has gone to waste
But while it beats, should I try my best
To restore the fragments left from your test?
This crashing storm within are fears
The calming wake is my rainbow of tears,
I'm a shattered prism, in mosaic dress
My candle's snuffed, I must confess
A heart once happy, filled with life
Is all but empty, yet, full of strife
The thrill is gone, the end draws near
No cloud in trousers will appear
To erase this soporific state
I've nothing left to compensate
Just fragments of a heart in atrophy
Its greater part is now your trophy
I hope it brought you love and joy
In the three years that I was your toy.
Should this life go on or should it end
There's still so much ... I need a friend
