Dregs of my Soul
The love that held me has finally gone,
Never to return to my empty heart.
The laughter is gone.
The joy is kept away,
Always, forever forced from thought.
I will never love again,
As I loved before,
And suffered for you .
It is gone,
Never to return again.
I have lost my best friend,
The comfort of a secure love,
Which has now sunken,
Into the dregs of my mind.
A dead hope,
Dragging down my dreams,
Of loving you.
