With a sharp tug, it went away,
And I tumbled and fell today,
You stole away sure-footed land,
And took back a once-held hand,
A rug pulled from beneath my feet,
Every light turned off in this street,
Windows plastered over in paint,
My wings locked in hard restraints,
Sapphire sky turned dull grey,
Now you've been taken away,
Oh, what it was to once fly,
Fly high without goodbyes,
Held close in strong arms,
Fell for silly, little charms,
But now - with a tug and a shove,
Gone again, is my love.

Suddenly a lot has changed, I'm feeling suddenly estranged, I thought I knew you - maybe not, I'm giving everything I've got. How much more do I have left. Before you leave me here: bereft.

Once Upon A Time
We have been here before. Sitting beside each other on the floor. Not knowing where do we go from here. Are we really going to give it another year. Words said cannot be undone.

Dismembered
Pulverised hearts. So much pain. Too many fights. We're not the same. Good times came. So did sorrow. Passionate nights. The same tomorrow. Dying embers. Broken hearts. Anger spoke. Tore us apart.

Would we have imagined that it would end like this. Lay down beside me. It is our last kiss. Please just let it be.

Left For Dead
A heart full of sorrow, A bird void of song, When you left, you broke my heart, Now it's all gone wrong. A light that has gone out, A house that's fallen down, I know that I've lost you.

Wasted
Right from the start. I believed in your heart. We were hardly apart. It seems time won't tell. If a rebellious swell. Brings dreaded farewell. All is lost, I am sure. Cannot be like before.

Broken
I can't do this. I can't go on, the fight to make it work has gone, The way we make each other feel, The words that hurt, too deep to heal. It isn't right, it cant be love.
