i stand here lost...

i stand here lost and betrayed
the price of trust, so high
with my tears, i seem to have paid

as sad and broken i lie,
upon this rough hard stone
i hear from my lips a sigh,
and shudder to my very bone

what was my fault,
but to trust with all my heart
to open that sweet vault,
to one who simply took it apart

i loved and i cared,
but all i got in return
is this pain i had so feared,
and a soul just left to burn

and not for the first time,
i have had my heart bled
by one who doesn't care a dime,
about the despairs that render me dead

where is the hope and joy,
that would light this sordid dark
stop my heart being treated as a toy,
and make it sing like a lark

i beg u take the hurt away,
to let me soar from this abyss
at whose edge i here sway,
and see my life go amiss

unbind the ropes that bind me,
give me back my golden wings
from this autumn let me flee,
to get drenched in the bright springs

i stand here lost and alone,
but not for long i hope
unturned my heart would be from stone,
and no longer in darkness shall i grope...
