His eyes so
full of sadness this night that only I can give
him what he truly needs as much as I,
do this night so cold and lonely in the way this heart breaks
for the man I love so much even
now when hopes and dreams shatter
upon the floor at my
feet none can see the pain in my heart
which I hide so well even when
it hurts so much in all that is meaningful in my
life;
I hide what I fear could
end my freedom for all eternity
even when love should be able
to conquer every little thing that stands in its
way.
I will someday find
a way to rebel against the ones who ruined
my perfect happiness so dear in all it means to me
and this life of mine,
Love is strong, stronger than anything else
on earth and I will find a way to
be with the man I do love
so much even when pain gets locked up inside
my heart so true;
I truly want to
find a way to happiness
where this heart can never be
even when I long for it to be so
easily achieved on
every given level.
