Alisa

This night I won't soon forget, if ever at all

You didn't stop crying, every word came with a tear

You've been taken from me, promised happiness in your book

The pages give you hope, faith in what will come

Your freedom in exchange for comfort

Being good person just doesn't cut it

Don't be sorry, and don't doubt what you have

The words give you power, power to overcome

Power to overcome me, get you back to happiness

If only I had such a book, one to turn to for answers

Answers as to why you had to be taken from me

You've already told me why

A reason which is unthinkable to me

The facts were thrown at me hard, and I'm glad you didn't let up

You love me...but that's not enough

I'm here now, my fingertips are telling you how I feel

Speeding cars flow through my ears

I had just said goodnight, but not my final goodbye

Standing on the stone, your words hit me as did the white roses

They mocked me as you talked...showed me what could have been

I had the vision of happiness in my eyes

And the harsh reality forced into my head

Love is not enough, at least not now

Insult to injury, nearly a fatality

The thing that had caused so much pain in the past

It's made it's return...and taken you from me

It protects you though, I cannot hold anything against it

Our love cannot hold what it does in it's hand

Your comfort, promises for your future...

Go with it now, but don't forget my name

Your guardian keeps me from you

But love is steadfast, I will never forget

Keep me in your heart, but never on your tongue

Never again...
