Lover Adieu

What does it take to break someone's heart
Break someone's spirit?
What does it take to love to much,
Hate too much,
Fight too much?

What if I love you is never enough
What if the words
Just can't come out?

What if it breaks me!
What if it shakes me?
What if I cry and cry?
Especially when you say goodbye.

With so many questions and so few answers
How do I contemplate the loss of you?
The mere memory on a heart impounded,
so dearly and devotedly.

Did you love me at all?
Tell me...tell me true.
Else your senseless play thing
will say adieu...

Beg, plead, should I stay naught?
Forgive your forgiver
but your answers are taught.

You are afraught with money
hesitation, greed.
Yet you say that
I am the one you need?

Peace be not known to you.
Stranger?  Coward in my eyes?
Surely I despise,

You to me?
Me to you?
Whatever, what will...
What did I do?

But love you too much,
succeed in too few?
You will never know,

And lover?

Adieu.
