Lover's Lament

10-5-2008

To the one I still love,

"Lover's Lament"

You used to say that you loved me,
But now you say it isn't so.
Ten long years and I've wanted no one else,
So where could you be, where did you go?

Where did I go wrong?
I am only a man, made many a mistake.
But I've made a sacred vow to you,
One that none should ever break.

To have and to hold,
For better or worse.
I would be here 'til the end.
But now my love for you is a curse.

Can it ever be broken?
This curse that is keeping us apart?
We have loved deeply once,
Cut loose the chains on your heart!
