My heart I had so freely offered thee
And yet this heart is now torn,
Friends you now say we can only be,
Hollow emptiness shall as my shroud be now worn..
The angels chorus above beckons me
To cry out with a voice so loud,
To plead with you to open your heart and see,
That of my love for you I would always stand proud...
And yet grief's dagger pierces to my deepest marrow,
Mourning the loss of what we have shared,
There is no end to the depth of my sorrow
For to you alone my soul I have bared...
I do know that I now must relinquish
My devotion for you once held so divine,
My soul enveloped in a heart now crushed,
Sadness now this intimate companion of mine...
What delight can this life now possibly hold?
No future for my shattered heart does there now seem,
I feel aged beyond my years, now so tearfully old,
For our failed love will be my eternal Requiem.
