I Do So Love You
I do so love you
but what is love
when I lay dying
broken by love's lost
dream?
I cannot recall the words
I spoke in haste
being but a mortal
my life is now a waste.
For once you said you
loved me
but time has passed us by
I have but one recourse
to lay me down and die.
Do bodies die
when hearts are broken?
Can people live
when love has gone?
Where does love go
when it has no heart to
live in?
Does love return
to fill the empty spaces?
Without you
I feel no warmth within.
Without you
will spring come again?
My heart shall die in
winter's chill
Knowing it was I who made
the kill.
If I placed my body at
your feet
Would your heart be moved?
Would you care?
Would you even know that I
was there?
Will you hear me when I
cry?
Will you kiss the tears
before they dry?
Words spoken softly,
"I forgive."
Please say them now and
let me live.
The warmth of your love
could melt winter's snows
And dry the chill rain
that buffets and blows.
To know you were there
When I need you most of
all
I would give up the songs
of birds
and all the red leaves in the fall.
