I Mourn

I mourn, my dear

As though you had died

For I don’t know how to carry on

Without you by my side

 

And if I truly died, dear heart

Would you still grieve for me?

Or turn and simply walk away

Without any reprieve?

 

My sorrow, my pain

Is deep, and dark, and cold

And without you, no escape

From this hellish hole

 

I’m sorry if I cling, my dear

But I just don’t know

How something we felt so pure and real

Could suddenly grow this cold

 

If you are just afraid, my love

Please come out and say

I promise I will wait for you

Every minute, every day

 

Please don’t turn so cold

And try desperately to hide

Every feeling that we shared

Buried deep inside

 

If these words you speak are true

And oh, they wound so deep

If you think that we can’t be

My promise I will keep

 

Oh, the distance I would go

Just to have you by my side

But if you say the twain shan’t meet

I still will not deride

 

I will not force, but I will fight

To keep our love alive

For what I felt I know is true

Cause this I can’t abide

 

 

 

 

The sudden turn

The sudden mask

That fell upon your face

I still believe is fear, my love

Of what, I do not know

 

But perhaps if you will come to me

And talk awhile, at least

Together we will find a way

To overcome this beast

 

I love you, I truly do

My heart still can’t release

The comfort that you bring to me

The happiness, the peace

 

But if your heart has changed its tune

Then mine shall turn to stone

For I can never love again

Knowing what I’ve known

 

I wish you all the best, my love

That this life has to give

I just hope to share with you

Again, and truly live

 

I have nothing else to give, dear heart

But promise I will wait-

For if time is simply all you need

That shall soon abate
