Your love brought me joy

Though heartache followed quickly

For every glimpse of happiness

I fought my way through hell in your eyes

Never enough kind words spoken

Not from you nor I

But this pain you've left me with

Guides my pen to paper

And words like teardrops flow

Silently my heart breaks

Not ever will you save me

So I smile in spite of my sorrow

Knowing one day something will save me

Rescue me from this place

Dark, deep, locked inside me

Where love once bloomed

Now only wilted roses grow
