MARCH 16, 2006
Listen to the sound
of my heart breaking
And my delicate soul
being torn in two.
There is a love
I’ve loved
And we have loved
Yet I can fight the storm no more.
What causes
a heart to turn cold
And tender arms
to cease from caring?
Have not I been good?
Have not I been faithful?
Yet I cannot
control the enemies’
attacks.
Listen again to the sound
of my heart breaking
As I am tormented
with pleasant thoughts of yesteryear.
Where hath the joy gone?
What turned his soul so?
An affectionate touch
I am unable to receive again.
There is a man
who boasted of his joy
for our love
And only a day ago
he kissed me.
There is a man
who loved me so
Yet he says it is
wrong for us to love.
Listen, finally to the sound
of my heart breaking
As I sink into an endless sleep
Pain, sorrow and misery no more.
