I hate to see you in this way

Softly cooing like a dove

Cowering in my dark shadow

Tortured by my love

Others walk about you

Weary of your pain

You yearn to be walking with them

You yearn to be free again

The happiness in your eyes has gone

I have stolen it away

This love of mine is making you weak

And on your knees you pray

You pray to every God out there

Hoping that one could hear

Hear your wish of a better life

A life without me, your fear

You shudder when you feel my touch

And when my lips kiss your own

Your love for me has dried with your tears

While my love for you has grown

You are no longer soothed by my voice

Or by my warm embrace

You told me this, not by words

But by the tears running down your face

I tried to reach out to you

Tried to show you I care

Perhaps I cared too much (if that's possible)

And now only your hate is there

You stare at me now, empty and alone

And I fall to the ground and cry

You turn and walk away, forever

With a smile in your eye
