Why?<\/p>\n
I knew you when
\nyou were a girl all alone without love.
\nI took you in.
\nI wooed you , & showered you with love.
\nWe had a love.
\nA love like no other that I had known.
\nSent from above.
\nIt was wondrous, & lovely. Had I known,
\nIt would end.
\nWhen someone much better came along.
\nSo why pretend.
\nIt seemed right, but it was so wrong.
\nI\u2019m all alone.
\nAlone in a world without love.
\nI wish I\u2019d known.
\nIt would end with you killing the dove.
\nWhat can I do?
\nI feel shattered beyond all repair.
\nIf I had you.
\nI would no longer be in such despair.
\nI have to go.
\nMy collar turned up against the wind.
\nI feel so low.
\nI feel I will never love again.
\nYou will never know
\nThat I miss you more than I can bare.
\nIt is time for me to go.
\nMy life is over. It\u2019s not going anywhere.<\/p>\n
