You took your love away

You took your love away

 

 

How my heart breaks,

could you have laid me down lower then you have tonight?

 

My heart belonged to you…so completely.

 

The tears of my heart,

bleed red from the knife you thrust into it.

 

And in the mornings light I see,

an empty bed where you used to lie.

 

Now my mornings are a reminder,

of how you loved me; once upon a dream.

 

Now I lie and look at the walls,

I walk through town and see your face in every crowd.

 

I feel your touch upon my skin,

your words press against my heart.

 

Your lips…never mind.

 

I smile on the outside,

but deep inside you are the one I wanted to love,

to take care of,

to be there when you were happy, sad,

when you needed me the most,

the smile is just a way of keeping my pain a secret.

 

Now I am just a shadow of your love,

just a note in your diary.

 

And still I love you deeper than the oceans,

wider than the universe,

brighter than the brightest star,

stronger than the hurricanes that wreak havoc,

on my heart.

 

I would plant a garden with your favorite flowers,

and bring to life your favorite scent.

 

Since you’ve been gone…

since you’ve gone…

This is so so sad, and speaks of a love the poet knew, and wants back. Nice song, by the way, Prince's biggest hit that most people don't know was his.
Note "used" to lie (you missed the d):)

[ron]

Thank you for your very kind review. I will change the typo :)
