Don't play that song for me

Keys gathering dust

Piano once shiny

Music playing softly

Lovers dancing.

 

Once upon a time...

 

Well don't play that song for me

All it brings forth is misery

Memories from days gone by

Then all I do is sit and cry.

 

Oh babe, how you used to sing

Songs of such love and dreams

Your eyes holding mine so sweet

As you sang to the music's beat.

 

So tell me true, I ask of you

Where did our love go wrong?

What made you stop playing,

That old love song?

 

The one you used to sing for me

Your words of love softly sung

 Making me feel I was the only one

With desire they came forth.

 

Love in every word

Oh God I felt so needed

Desired and carefree

So tell me dear.

 

Where have they gone;

What once we shared? 

 

Now I just sit and stare

The piano silent, empty and bare

No sound comes forth of love or dreams

Gone they are, ended that day.

 

When you left me behind

With only the tune in my thoughts

The song in my memory

Oh love can be so unkind..

 

 

And all I have to say is this...

 

 

Don't play that song for me

All it brings forth is misery

 

 

For without your love...

 

There is no more we....

A line simiar in one of my poem "then there would be be no more you" but where is is the end of an affair, or marrage, mine is darker the end of a life! This is sad but at least these people are still alive as is my persona in my poem but through no fault of his own!
