My Plight

You wore my ring
Made my heart sing
I thought you'd never leave;
I felt secure
And was so sure
In you I could believe.

Now it seems
Through shattered dreams
I realized my plight:
My love for you
Is strong and true
And yours is....not as bright.

I, crushed inside,
Hid wounded pride
Withdrew into my soul:
My tears of pain
Like falling rain
It seems I'd no control.

I have to pray
Don't end this way
Our love has just begun!
We still must share
Our laughs and cares
And see that rising sun.

You'll never find
One near as kind
Nor one whose love would show;
Heed this advice
Don't pay the price
The loss would hurt you so....
