Ended

Last night a union ended

A good thing fell apart.

It seemed like a good idea at the time

But now I'm nursing a broken heart.

Telepathically I try, but it's no use

The telephone just won't ring.

I wasn't sure about the letter I wrote.

Don't know if I did the right thing.

Still, like a fool, I gave it one last try

My head and emotions disagree.

When I vainly search for y our arms

They're out of reach to comfort me.

 
That's all I wanted, really

Reassurance, words from you.

After you shattered my illusions

How was I to know your feelings were true?

When in bed I listen for your car

For your knock upon the door.

Then I can start to love you again

And pick my heart up off the floor,

But I know it's all just hoping

I just wait and my time I bide

Praying constantly for some reprise

And to hold you safe inside.

Your feelings for me, they flowed and ebbed

Like the long flight of a dove.

To please, I tried to change mine too,

But could not deny what I felt was love...

I feel I'm clutching at straws right now.

You are that needle in the haystack.

I'm too scared to admit that it's over.

All I want is to have you back.
