LOVE THAT LIES

LOVE THAT LIES

A Poem by Lou R

No one told me it could be this way -

 

The pain and sorrow that love can bring

 

No one told me it would end this way

 

When all your dreams fade away to nothing

 

 

When you think that you can touch the sky

 

You find it's just too far to fall

 

When you think that you can taste the wine

 

You find it's only water after all

 

 

And somewhere in the

 

   lonely night

 

You hear the sound of one who cries

 

Yes somewhere in the

 

   lonely night

 

You hear the sound of love that lies

 

 

I remember when I was a child

 

It all seemed so simple then

 

I never knew what the world was like

 

Never dreamed I'd find out again and again

 

 

 That somewhere in the

 

   lonely night

 

I'd hear the sound of one who cries

 

Yes somewhere in the

 

   lonely night

 

I'd hear the sound of love that lies.
