Return My Soul

~I lie between these empty sheets

hungering for your touch~

~My heart is crying lonely beats

for what and how it was~

~Once upon a time gone past

so very long ago~

~When we were young and love was vast

burning in our souls~

~Two hearts as one beating strong

melded in passions flame~

~Until the day it all went wrong

never again the same~

~My body cries of loneliness

escaping from my eyes~

~Longing for your tenderness

lying by my side~

~My every night is filled with pain

tearing me apart~

~Pondering thoughts down memory lane

starving in my heart~ 

~When you left you took my soul

leaving me empty inside~

~You are the half that made me whole

giving me reason why~

~Two hearts as one beating strong

melded in passions flame~

~Until the day it all went wrong

never again the same~

~Now I lie between these sheets

hungering for your touch~

~My heart is crying lonely beats

for what and how it was~

~My nights are long so very cold

consumed with loneliness~

~Come back to me return my soul

filling this emptiness~

~I love you now as I did then

more than love can be~

~My love for you it has no end

further than time can see~

~You are the half that made me whole

giving me reason why~

~When you left you took my soul

leaving me empty inside~
