I've seen the hurt in their eyes.
The disappointment along with the desperation,
I felt it
It was mirrored in my soul and it haunts my heart.
Something so beautiful,
A passion stolen from life itself.
And I won't forget the smiles on their faces,
Or the laughter in their expressions.
But I won't forget the lives I saw shattered,
The promises broken,
I can't.
I never pray,
So I hope this sobbing plea reaches you,
I know it's a selfish request,
Don't let me fall in love,
I'm begging you, I couldn't survive that kind of pain. |
