Drifted Away
I haven't seen you for a long time;and though I miss you,
I do not say what is really in my heart.
I just wish that I could take all this pain away.
I stare dreamily out of the window,thinking of what use to be;
and I'm surprised as I catch myself crying.
I don't know what's come over me.So rich was our love,that I despair;yet,
now the sad winds blow over me and crush me without care.
I loved the way that you used to hold me
and laugh and whisper in my ear.
It makes me feel so sad to remember what I once held so dear.
The black looks in everyone's eyes close in around me in mercy and rue.
I don't want anyone's pity.
The only thing I want is you.
How could you just walk away from me and leave me like a rag on the floor?
How could you just leave me stranded like a stranger on the shore?
Worst of all,is how I still love you,
how I still find it so hard to heal my wounded soul which is now battle-scarred.
I cannot change my feelings nor my unfaltering love and trust.
I cannot change the fact that I'm a flower in the dust.
I'm so sorry you no longer love me,that you left me in grief and shame.
I'd do anything to make you happy,and I thought you would do the same.
I will speak softly to you upon the wind.I shall weep for you in the sea;
and remember our moments together before you drifted away from me.
