True Love Lost

I reached for you, but you were no longer there

Your love had drifted away in the midnight air

The beauty of your face I could not forget

You had become my only regret

In another I fooled my heart into believing

The façade was frighteningly deceiving

A love from my past, dead long ago

My stubborn heart refused to let go

The pain of the loss had broken me

And the hope in your eyes I could not see

For an instant I bathed in your glory

The highlight to my tragic story

I wanted you for mine, for always

I wanted you to light the rest of my days

But it seems I was fated

To surrender to one who only hated

The pain in your eyes broke my heart

Forever, we would be apart

The dye of fate had been cast

The moment I turned from the future and reached for the past

Now I aimlessly wander, hollow and alone

Cursed with the knowledge that the fault is my own
