Parting
sweet sorrow?
agree I do not
for parting from you
clouds my tomorrow
and hurts me today
no sweet feeling
if you cannot stay

Our paths they crossed
led us to find
one another
to both our surprise
I'm left to ponder
what purpose, why

If so soon after
our paths led us away
from each other
my heart in your pocket
with you
stolen away

I tried not to give it
my heart belongs to me
you had one already
but miserably
I failed
so now you have two

I must now reclaim it
the pain too much to bear
a hole deep inside of me
aching in your absence
I am here
you are there

Better to have
loved and lost
than never loved at all?
again I disagree
it's all lies
I don't like this pain at all

If love is the ultimate
the thing
for which we strive
then what is left
when love is gone
not live but survive

My eyes were wide open
still I did not see
that you would be able
to break through
and nestle in me

the blame is all mine
you never once lied
I should have known better
allowed you inside

No time for regrets now
it is said they don't work
I still cannot help it
to look back and think
I could have avoided
feeling this way

Returning to sweetness
I'm struggling to know
what is meant
by its meaning
right now
it's not so

Together is sweetness
alone much the same
but parting is neither
brings nothing
but pain

even if sweetness
results from the fact
absence makes fonder
that too I reject
the heart it will wander
the circle complete
I seem to have lost it
I now need it back

So kindly I ask you
please set me free
return what I gave you
it's not yours to keep
it is all I can think of
to fill up this hole
without it I'm dying
please don't be angry
I beg, make me whole
