SEVERING
slowly inside ive begun to die as i watch my world fade away tears unshed all these years slowly stream down my cheeck as these last few words i speak only myself this could have avoided as myself i now see the pain of ruin as i become the background of what in the heart of one that did me once love i will never forget how i lost that which i cannot replace
Tortured inside I know pain
Of lovers i know none
without another i am stained
Like a leper to shun
My heart engulfed in your flame
Melting my souls on fire
The heat rising unable to tame
The fever of my burning dsire
Just when i thought it was safe to care
I find that i do not compare
Truly i am now well aware
That my feelings you do not share
The picture painted clear
Of what i've just seen
Forever love my hearts fear
Washed now the eyes unclean
Seduction is my downfall
My own heart I betrayed
Torn my pages fall
A book tattered and frayed
My words they are my life
Sending my love to you
Returning to cut me like a knife
Severing me from you
