Love Lost

Once it was innocent
Then he reached for my hand
But touched my heart
His kiss opened my eyes
His touched fueled my emotions
And tore through the lies
I freely gave my heart
He tore my world apart
I can't help but love him like no other
His mind and heart changed about me as a lover
I feel echoes of what once was
As he talks of lost loves
He may know or not have the slightest clue
I swallow the pain and my pride
Just to be a his side
When I finally broke the angels cried
Please don't make me smile
I need to be sad for a while.
