I open up this book of my heart.
And find these pages are filled
with so much sadness, and pain.
My eyes are burned with painful tears
of a past so long ago.
I set here, and fill my mind
with an image that's so familiar.
As I grasp every detail lived, and shared.
My heart bleeds with such pain...
when I open this book.
So many precious memories it holds.
Angry is my soul! And I cry out, as
I turn these pages of my heart.
Such tragedy I have suffered.
Will I ever be able to move on, and
allow my heart to heal? finding
comfort with new pages to create.
If only I could rewrite my life,
my heart would never know
the feeling of such loss.
But reality finds me holding on
to a past that know longer
wants me, and I am haunted
for still loving you.
