Lost Love

Deep Inside

01 August 2004

On the outside I am still
But my soul has come to chill
The love I cherished is no more
There’s nothing left worth fighting for

Deep inside, my heart has died
Deep inside, I cannot hide
Deep inside, where you can’t see
I’ve lost the biggest part of me.

Frozen Heart

27 March 2006

My heart has frozen over
I cannot feel your heat
My body has been laid to rest
Under an icy sheet

My tears have turned to frostbite
I cannot see your rays
The sun is missing from my sky
And cannot light my days

My teardrops can be melted
Your smile can set me free
Your lips can kiss away the pain
And breathe life into me.

Frozen Roses

02 February 2006

You haunt my mind
I can’t be free
You linger there inside of me

You touched my soul
Then broke my heart
Now I lie here torn apart

Tell me, why should I live on
Now that all my hope is gone?

You took my life
But I still live
Without a heart or love to give.

Inner Tears

Emptiness inside my heart
Darkness in my head
Crying unshed tears inside
I watch the darkness spread
Let my heartbeat carry on
Through my dreamless sleep
I’m forever mourning you
But I can never weep.

Tears

24 July 2005

The tears are welling in my eyes
But I can’t cry
I don’t know why

The ice has melted in my soul
And I’m not whole
I’m growing cold

Without you my days are long
And I’m not strong
I can’t hold on

The tears are welling in my eyes
Inside I cry
And you know why.

When I was Yours

25 September

Empty eyes
Ghost tears trace my cheeks
Wounded soul
I lie in ambivalent heartache
A lie and a memory
Of when I was yours.
