The Torture in Love


There's no other words That I'm willing to speak. I don't want to talk But I hear the floor creak. The door opens slowly As you enter the room. You walk over toward me As my heart fills with doom. You look at me smiling And notice my tears. Your smile slowly fades And your face fills with fears. You ask me what's wrong I answer, "I'm fine." You accept this answer But you know that I'm lying. Your face is lovely Your skin is fair. You say you love me But the feelings aren't there. The tears again come And you back away. You say you are done And go on your way. I fall to my bed With my heart broke in two. I hear your voice in my head And I realize I love you. I call out your name But you never come in. I know you are gone And the torture begins.
