Lost Love

My body is tired and restless,
Tears stream down my face.
I'm so tired of being alone,
It's a sullen and dark place.

We used to have such good times,
We laughed no matter what.
Now here I sit staring outside,
Not sure of what we've got.

Somehow we lost the connection,
That kept our love so strong.
I know you say that you love me,
But my heart says you've moved on.

There's no room left in your life for me,
Things have gotten more hectic each day.
Today I felt so scared and lonely,
That I hit my knees to pray.

Like a thief in the darkness of  night,
I have waited to steal your love.
It wasn't me for me to have,
Was the answer I heard from above.

I feel as though I'm being punished,
For the wrongs that I have done.
The love that I wanted so desperately,
Has caused my heart to come undone.

It's time for me to let go now,
To stop being selfish in my way.
I need the strength to do this,
So again, I will kneel to pray.

Maybe God will see my sorrow,
For the love I know I've lost.
So much life was taken from me,
Now my heart is covered with frost.

I hope that you find the love you seek,
But for me the search is done.
At this particular point in my life,
I don't want to love anyone!

Love is a hurtful game that's played,
By people with willing hearts.
I never thought just a month ago,
That this soon we would part.

Nothing left now but to say goodbye,
And turn to walk away.
I guess in the deepest part of my soul,
I want you to ask me to stay.
