He was tall and strong and offered dreams
His eyes held me in spell
But I was just a wild thing
Who never would do well.
Tattoos on his arms with curves
With muscles underneath
But oh when he got mad at me
The hard words came unsheathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For one day we were king and queen
Then ruled in castle bare
Yet so much history between
Killed off all his care.
So it was his lips were sealed
Just as my soul was named
The last day I could wait came on
Then I was not the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He lives on in my heart it seems
But I can’t tell you why
Perhaps sometimes a moment’s dreams
Can still cause one to cry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No one knew how much I felt
‘Cause I’ve a wild heart
But when I’m close to him I melt
Wish we would never part.
So for some days I slept right there
Inside the house he owns
And rode my horse upon the field
Went back to bed in stones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet never did he give me sign
That I was in his heart
So on that night of Halloween
I evermore would part.
Abandoned body, packed my clothes
Masked I attended ball
In black for that is how I felt
Emotions took the fall.
I’ve been told I deserve more
Perhaps that may be true
Pity for the ones who serve
the ones who have no clue.
For what is life we take with us
But memories and shame?
I shall make no further fuss
Or even say his name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
