One Final Kiss

I love you, what more can I say

I’ll never be one to stand in your way

A million stars paint the night sky

I wish you didn’t have to say goodbye

We shared a love that burned like a flame

I see no reason to lay blame

We walked hand in hand into the sunset

We made memories that I will never forget

We grew together and somehow grew apart

Once we shared a connection of the heart

These years how quickly they have passed

Always hoped our relationship was built to last

You say your freedom is what you truly desire

Your words are the water on the fire

I’ll surely miss you when you’re gone

I am no good at living alone

So many things I’m going to miss so much

Including the magic of your touch

Turn away I have already started to cry

Swore I I’d love you till the day I die

Your bags are packed with no regrets

It is clear you can’t forgive and forget

Faded rose petals lay on the floor

You’ve got your hand upon the door

If you must go spread your wings and fly

One final kiss and then we’ll say goodbye

My Heart is Torn

It’s just ashes to ashes dust to dust

What has become of the two of us?

We used to love each other like a house on fire

A love that was filled with want and desire

Like a small boat in a storm we got lost at sea

It’s still hard to imagine that you don’t want me

Together we carved our names in the old oak tree

A showing of our love we placed for everyone to see

A golden ring I placed lovingly upon your finger

Tell me how long will these feelings linger

It seems one day our love simply died

No one can say that I didn’t try

We climbed a mountain just to get to the other side

The mighty waves of passion we did surely ride

Together we came to know the glory of love

A choir of heavenly angels sang from above

My mind can never forget the sad day

The day you said that you were going away

Our love has became like a dying rose

All the petals fell and it began to decompose

The ending to our love was so bittersweet

On some common ground I hope we meet

My poor heart is now torn in two

Knowing I can never replace you

My sad and broken heart is now in pain

Now that it is only ashes that remain
