I Can't Go On

By: Erin Kimberly Horn

Why did you hurt me?
I thought we were in love.
You became my world, you became my dream
And I was soaring high above.
If you could only see how much I love you.
If you could only see how much I care.
I know that things could be different,
Can't you please be fair?
You're the only one that I trust,
The only one I love.
I can't do this anymore,
I just can't go on.
Ever since that night you left
And left me all alone.
The tears in my eyes will continue to fall
Silent as a stone,
You said it was what you must do
And nothing I had done.
But that is so hard to believe
Remembering all the fun:
I loved to hold you and see your smile
Keeping you safe from harm,
But now I don't know what will become
Since your protector is gone.
Was it all worth it?
Does happiness outweigh pain?
I don't know if I'll ever know,
But it'll never be the same.
I love you, dear, and always will
As I slowly move along
For when you're not by my side
Everything seems wrong.
Love hurts, people say,
And it never goes away
'Cause by your side I need to be,
This is where I much stay.
Love does hurt, and now I know...
