I pull myself up
and brace for the day
then a paramount thought
rips through my brain.

Could this truly be
-the beginning of our end?
taking from me
my woman and my best friend

How can one live
-through such horrible pain?...
and just keep on breathing
-when nothing remains

I stumble through each night
with a lonely- broken heart
how does it still beat
when it's torn apart

I know what it means
to be the amorous one
with an ardent desire
- for a love that gives none.
