Enough, no more​

​​

She came to me one sunny season
Bringing into my life love, joy and reason
She filled my heart with hope and desire
So much unselfish caring, I even now admire​

In blissful days and passionate nights
A dream it felt in star bound flight
Never wanting, never needing for more
But within her sweet body a beast did lore​

A beast from hell, a beast to eyes unseen
Slowly turning her blood from red to green
I'll never forget, no mater how long I live or tried
When known, long in each other's arms we cried​

There was not much that science could do
So within her the beast day by day grew
Not long I had, I tried to hide, but knew
Alone and lost without her, would be true​

Before her soul The Lord came to take
I hear her voice still, "Promises you will, make no mistake"
"Promises you will love again and again if need be"
“And again find the love you see in  me”​

"If you brake a promises now made, I swear"
"Your dreams I will hound, you nightmares share"​

Cold was the night my angel left my side
The pain, the anger I felt, so hard to hide
Her loving voice, her tender smile was now cold
My eyes, her beauty and grace, no longer behold
Her sweet caress I would miss each day
Pain, despair and loneliness alone would stay​

I ask The Lord, why did he take her
Why, no longer does she my bed stir
Now there is no hope, I see no tomorrow
I see no need to prolong this pain and sorrow​

She made me promises I've tried my best
I must stop the torment, I need to rest
I am too week, the pain too great to pass the test
Cannot go on without her love and sweet caress​

May you, my love, understand my coward's way
All I ask is forgiveness, if that I may
Without you, there is no life for me
I hope that beyond I but once allowed to see
Your loving smile, your eyes so blue
That I may hear you say once more, "I love you"​
