How much it hurts

You don’t know how much it hurts
Everytime I see the way you look at her
The way she makes your frown turn upside down
I wish that it was I that did

You don’t know how much it hurts
Everytime I see you with her
How it pains me
To watch you hold her close

You don’t know how much it hurts
Everytime I dream about you
Sometimes, of us together
Waking to find it all gone

You don’t know how much it hurts
Everytime you call out her name
With such passion and emotion
If only it were me you would yearn for

You don’t know how much it hurts
Everytime I hear you say, “I love you”
It aches me so much
Knowing that it will never be for me

Storybook Lover

I am lying down on my bed a book wide open in my hand My raven hair spilling into the pillows As I turn to the next page
I find myself in a storybook land

A dream and a reality merged into one
I awaken in an unknown place
Noticing only the air fresh and my surroundings beautiful
From nowhere, a man suddenly appearing in front of my face

With rugged features and a strong body
He is my knight in shining armor
He lifts me unto his horse, carrying me away
Sweet passion erupts and I become his paramour

Days pass, pure ecstasy filling each second
I live each day as if there is no tomorrow
Each night, reaching high unto the Heavens
My body reaching the highest high and the lowest low

Together forever he had said to me
This was a promised shared with a special bond
A glorious month passing as fast as a year
In happiness and in sond

Walking around, we find ourselves in a familiar place
Where started the happiest moments of my life
We lay down on the grassy lawn, the wind emitting a sweet melody
Slowly falling asleep as my mind dreams, memories still rife

Waking up once again, I am back in my bed
Gone is my knight in shining armor
The book is still open, I start to close it
But I stop as I stare into the words, “The lord saying, gone is my raven-haired paramour”
