words

Every word you told me
I believed to be true
Never doubted for a
moment, they were not pure

You made me feel special
This ordinary girl
Every time we met
You became my whole world

A beacon in dark times
Precious, glorious light
You held my hand tightly
And life again felt right

My anchor grew heavy
A solemn moon did fall
Distant the bell’s ringing
Your heart it has moved on

Words unspoken tremble
So deep inside of me
For want to let them out
And wrest this pain I feel
