Once i was loved,
I felt hands of passion embracing my skin,
Once i was loved,
But I’ll not feel it again.
The warm winter’s night, now fades into grey,
As i walk alone, the night into day.
Once i was loved,
I heard soft words fill my ears,
Once i was loved,
I’ll not see it for years.
And the candlelight’s glow, slowly burns out,
Where once was joy, is now without.
Once i was loved,
I had attention and unbounding joy,
Once i was loved,
Now i am another tossed aside toy.
And the sun that burned brightly, has now gone past sundown,
And the place that we built is now all rundown.
Once i was loved,
And it withered away
Once i was loved,
It would never stay.
And the tears that once fell, from bitter stained cheeks,
Now lay dry as bone, for desolate weeks.
I have cried a river, I screamed out in pain,
I desired for much, and I stood in the rain.
I called and I sighed,
I withered and cried.
Once i was loved,
But that love has died.
