Defeated
Love has brought me streams of sorrows
It has kissed my heart with tears and pain
Life seems plagued with darker tomorrows
When everything of life and love is vain.
The distant skies comes crashing down
The dark numbing silence invades me
As sad the hues, from sacred hills crown
My head with a forlorn memory.
I toiled to draw comfort by the stream
That my days somehow may turn to peace
But hope does trap my thoughts in a dream
That maybe your love had never ceased.
I dread the days when smiles had vanished
When loneliness sung, its songs of despair
Your ways are cruel, my soul is thus tarnished
For loving you so much, my darling so dear.
Tender I lay in fields of hopelessness
And trained my tearful sorrows to obey
Though blindly I crawl in love's emptiness
In this gloom, I see the light of day.
