Day turns dark

Love me tender
Love me do
Promise me always
Your love is true

Stay by me
When day turns dark
Walk me home
Through the park

Sit with me
In the rain
Promise me
It'll stay the same

Place your hand
Upon my heart
Reach in my soul
And tear me apart

To love and have
To casually use
Two different feelings
Which one to choose

You'll take the latter
With fries and all
Dress me up like a princess
Take me to the ball

At ten thirty
You run away
No chance to make you
Sit and stay

Staring out
Through the open door
I've never felt
Like this before

I gave myself
Whole and true
Lovingly and tenderly
But why to you

Regrets overwash me
For all that I've lost
I charged you with me
But forgot the cost

And now I stare through
An open door
And remember your face
That held so much more

Than that fleeting glimpse
Of paradise
To all who wish
I hope you think twice

I succumbed
To that perfect kiss
I found myself
Engulfed by bliss

But now I sit here
Alone on a bench
In the pouring rain
Sinking in that stench
Of rotting love.
