The Encore

There’s never been a belief as sincere

As the one I have in you

The glimpses into the future are clear

I just pray, they don’t come true

With words like knives

I carved out my plea

Please don’t make me repeat past lives

Please don’t give up your love for me

Days turned to weeks

Minutes into hours

So quick to turn the cheek

The only suffering was ours

A touch, a kiss, a lover’s embrace

No heat, no fire, you seemed to erase

The passion was there, alas no more

It seems my life must have its encore

Once more I’ll stay

Alone, afraid, embarrassed to say

How you’ve made my poor heart feel

Because you know, exactly what I’d reveal

What’s mine is yours

This you know

What’s yours is yours

I pray you’ll never, reap what you sow
