Skeleton

Trapped within this somber night,
I see no end to sorrow's plight.
A sea of tears runs down my face--
My chest is but a hollow place.
I limp about with heart in throat
In bitter cold without a coat.
There's no denying, through and through,
I'm hopelessly in love with you.

For many years we stuck it out--
We took it all when life lashed out.
We went through hell and back again,
Yet lost each other in the rain.
Our family has been torn apart,
The one I love torn from my heart --
Yet after all that we've been through,
I'm hopelessly in love with you.

I've tried my best to still my cry,
But my love for you will never die.
I have seen others to play the role,
But you're the one who makes me whole.
This front of mine is crashing down;
These tears are splashing all around.
It doesn't matter what I do;
I'm hopelessly in love with you.

I'm tired now, the fight too long
With tender heart behind shield, once strong.
I cannot hold it anymore;
You own the key to my heart's door.
So please come in and take my life;
We could try again without the strife.
So babe I ask with love so true--
Please come back, because I love you.
