Broken Angel
"It was love at first sight", He whispered in my ear...
"I will make you my wife; the time draws near...
Our bodies, our minds and hearts entwinded...
I will love you forever and forever you'll be mine."
My heart was his, won over by love and charm...
I was swept off my feet and placed on a cloud...
I felt like a little girl...
Her first treasure found...
His broken words so sweet and sincere...
Soon to come no longer, would those words seem clear...
Though said with love, they cut like a knife...
He just didn't want my heart, he wanted my life...
"I will protect and care for you."
"I promise to keep you from harm."
Never could I have known that my worst pain...
Would come from the swing of his arm...
Is it true that love is blind?
Is this why I was fooled by something so sweet and kind?
Living without him, brokenhearted, those were my worst fears...
Until this man became the reason for my falling tears...
My love for him ended with the slap of his hand...
If I'd have stayed I'd be six feet under this land...
So, next lover, don't love me so much; I'm happy with a little less...
I have come to realize a man can love you to death...
