Deep in my heart there is a fear,

I know that I am going to be hurt,

I quietly shed a salty tear,

Was I blind and not alert.

 

I have a pain deep in my chest,

If you feel we must part,

Outside I will smile and say its for the best,

The pain inside , hurting,killing like a poison dart.

 

I never will allow anyone to get,

Inside my heart, my oul, my being,

No more trust, no more joy and yet,

No one will know by what they are seeing.

 

The day will come when I am past caring,

Laying cold , in my suit and tie,

My last thoughts of us both, our love sharing,

No more tears will I have to cry.

 

My last thoughts will be of you,

The taste of your lips, they joy that you gave,

Without you what can I do,

You took my heart, my love and made me your slave.
