Sadness Grows

  

~Sadness grows within my heart                              

pulling and tearing it apart~

~The fire that burned within my soul

has all but died and grown cold~

~I feel myself fading into abyss

my life in shambles and amiss~

~My love has left to have another

talking all worth living with her~

~I know not why another man

so hard I’ve tried to understand~

~My life is dim for that she was

my one and only true to love~

~The day we met I found to be

my soul was burning inside of me~

~She’d stolen my heart I was in love

she was everything to me I wanted of~

~Now she’s gone alone am I

within my mind I think to die~

~My friends they say no good was she

many more fish within the sea~

~My heart is broke beyond compare

I’ll not find another girl anywhere~

~Nor do I wish I want not of

my life to be another love~

~I am done my life's no more

ending as she walked out that door~
