Upon a midsummers night
When the moon was on high
Your beauty shined bright
Out shining the brightest stars
That sparkle in your eyes
Flickered in the moonlight
A glimpse of inner beauty
That drew me to you
You stood tall and proud
Independent and intelligent
My heart grew heavy
With what I believed to be love
And on that moon filled night
All the songs and poems
Talking about love at first sight
All suddenly made sense
So when I professed my affections
My soul felt light
My heart filled with jubilation
As you welcomed me into your arms
You told me you loved me
Declared to be my rock
In a sea of turmoil
Forever by my side
SO how am I supposed to feel
When I am set adrift
In a swirling sea
And my rock is nowhere in sight
My love, my world
Torn from my heart and shredded apart
As I gazed upon your form
Wrapped and tangled in another's embrace
I want to say that I am unbroken
Unemotional and unfazed
Brush it aside,
like it's an everyday thing
But I simply can not Hide how I feel
As I stand there crying
Trembling with this raw emotion
Just a broken shell,
A shadow of the person I once was
Did you think it was joke
That I gave you my trust
Shared my heart
And called you soul mate
I think of your laughter
The one that used to make me whole
Now nothing more than
poison to my soul
The stars are shining
The moon is glowing
The world is turning,
while I stand frozen
On this midsummer's night
Am stuck in that moment
A speck in the time stream
Wishing for what was
But can never be
I am dangling on a precipice
Afraid to move on
My heart is Lined with scars,
tales of my anguish
I yearn to love another, To hold someone
As I once held you
But I am filled with hesitation
Afraid of pain
Can I learn love again
To trust another as I trusted you
Or will I forever be
A broken man
