Love Lies Loving words That hit the heart First, melting all my doubt A love so sweet It gets me- Turns my emotions Inside-out Your tender words Soft-spoken Are everything, my heart’s delight But they return again In vain The darts hurling The pain, I fight What once was love’s amazing gift Became a punishment Instead I gave mine all unselfishly But yours was cold Your heart was dead I will not succumb to All your harming ways- Death’s An absent breath away Instead, I leave my silence To remind you- This heart has nothing more To say By Sandy Sinn
