Anguish

by Michael Flynn   Jan 24, 2008


My mind is plagued by the memory of a love that is long since lost.
My soul cries out day and night for a love that is long since lost.
My body aches and my eyes weep for a love that is long since lost.

I knew my love could never be returned but I gave it anyway.
I hoped and prayed that my love would be recompensed someday.
I needed to know my love was not given in vain, but I always knew the price I would ultimately pay.

Was I a fool? Did I sacrifice my own heart?
Was it worth it? Did I condemn my heart to be torn apart?
Was it all for not? Did I ever touch your heart?

Regardless of the outcome I would do the same thing today I did so many years ago.
Regardless of the pain, with out hesitation I would allow you see what I was so willing to show.
Regardless of your feelings for me I still give you all I had for you so very long ago.
The love I have always had,
For You.
