Love in the Dark

I can see through your crystal blue eyes
that love is not a word in your dictionary
am left here alone with nothing but my own shadow
my heart is burning like fire on wood
and my skin is yearning for your touch
i loved you, i love you, and always will
the pain is slowly spreading like cancer in my body
if i could speak to love, il beg him to leave me alone
if i could reach the sky, id ask god to dispatch love
you came in my life like a ghost in the gloom
and you left like a soldier in war, so brutal
and carelessly you said goodbye
my heart is broken and hanging on the dark side
of LOVE.
