LOVE TOSSED ME ASIDE

Without words you came to life,

Without a smile you left,

Each day I watched you slip away,

Yet my hands were tied.

Now the gap between you and me is so wide,

Dear love, why did you toss me aside?

It pains me to live apart from you,

Endless tears escape my eyes

And no one to hear the tortured cries.

Dear love where did you go?

Am I so bad that I became your foe?

While others wanted diamonds,

Demanded time and gifts,

I was happy with teddy and toffees

Still happy with calls and texts,

So where did it all go wrong?

Dear love, where have you gone?

With no hands to hold me back

When all the stupid things I try,

With no one to tell me all the qualities I lack,

I feel as if someone has put out all the lights,

Dear love, why did you leave me tonight?

Standing by the bay, I look at the setting sun,

Blazing the sky with orange and red,

I watch the tides come and go,

Each time they wash away my footprints,

I wait for you to return with the tide….

Yet my dear love… why did you toss me aside??
