Stuck on a plain
so far from home
a voice carries softly
to and fro
tearing you in two.
You hear the tears
on the wind
hurting and asking,
calling out for you.
Innocence left behind
gone long gone now
it is still inside
so cold
what do you do?
You know you lost
left behind the best
gave up
and threw away the rest
believing it was through.
No way to go back
to turn around and see
that face smiling
you'll only see
a heart staring back at you.She stops here for a moment,
tears falling so fast, she remembers,
she has to get it out
How does this happen
and why doesn't it stop?
and when the sun rises
do you finally give up
whats lost to you?
Seeing what it is
that gift that was yours
knowing its there
a promise
that wasn't held true.
It's been so long
and sometimes you
give up
and then it's back
there is nothing you can do.
the pen drops, she stares out the window.
It's so beautiful outside, but cold.
something she knows very well. It's almost finished, she's almost through.
I have no words left for you
nothing I can share
from this moment on
You are in my heart
but I can't care about you.
It's over for us
I'm finally saying so long
be happy
I wish nothing but the best for you.
She signs the letter with a tear swept flourish, putting his name at the top.
She seals the envelope and sends it on its way. Maybe now she can find her peace.

Live your life without regret, don't be someone they forget. Your heart is not yours to keep, it's yours to give...
