• “Spill forth scarlet waters, spill forth I demand!”

    A deep, thin line sliced, and there it leaked, on command

    “No one to love, no one to hold…
    No one that comforts me when they scold…
    Alone shall be me, for it is destiny…
    Cupid’s arrows were once shot, but foolish me ran away from thee…”

    A dozen more deep lines, and there spelled out:

    “S-O-R-R-Y”

    “Blasphemy I committed, so punishment shall never die
    Forever shall pain be trapped within, to never spill out in cry”

    Dripping streams of crimson eventually washed away
    But present day, the scars are still there to stay
    To never fade, for they encase the memories…
    …From a time where I begged:

    “True love…PLEASE!”

    A time of what seemed the beginning of everlasting pain
    A time where hours were spent, pleading, while being soaked by the rain
    Weeks passed, and the feeling went on
    For I believed that to him, I wanted to belong

    “No other person could remind me of every love song
    I think I love you, I really think I do
    Why would I feel this great sadness of not having you…
    …If it wasn’t true?”

    But oh, how foolish one can be
    When one gets LUST confused with L-O-V-E
    Love is not a one-way street, it never can be
    I learned that out the hard way,
    When 3 months from that day,
    The man I thought to be “in love” with fell in love for true
    Oh, so heartbroken I was, and how oh so blue
    When truth hit me hard, and stuck to me like glue

    “Never again shall I try and find love…
    …It only leads to deep heartbreak that reaches the ebony above”

    Deep depression blocked out everything
    Never wanting to hear a voice, never wanting to hear the telephone ring
    But soon enough, someone came along
    And for a while, I’d say:

    “To him, I belong”

    But happiness was not found

    “So overwhelmed I can’t hear a sound”

    Indescribable, but you eased my pain, and got my feet on the ground
    A great friend you were, all around
    You led me to the truth that I so utterly needed to seize

    “I shall beg no longer for that person on my knees
    I once was on a one-way road to heartbreak
    Never again, shall that be the road I take
    For I turned around
    True love, I found
    You are the man that lifts my feet off the ground”

    Not long did I have to wait
    For your proposal for a date
    True love bloomed from there at an outstanding rate
    Never again shall lust overthrow me
    Into a lake of sorrow, bigger, blacker than the sea
    For you are everything to me
    Feelings for that person have died long ago
    To be sunk forever in Lake Sorrow
    You bring me happiness immeasurable to man
    On sadness within, you ban
    So caring, so thoughtful, so loving are you
    And all those things, I hope I am too
    Last time I didn’t know what was true
    But now I do
    So now, with utter truth, I can say

    “I forever love you”
