The Last Letter

You can't feel my pain
                        I'm breaking down tonight
                        And you don't taste the salty stab
                        of every tear that I cry

                        I speak to you through dreams and prose
                        words written from my heart
                        But deeper my uncertainty grows
                        and tears my soul apart

                        I knew if I went searching again
                        how disappointed I would be to find
                        Time is erasing my memory
                        from your forgotten mind

                        Look into my eyes that you cannot see
                        the spark is lifeless and dull
                        Hidden hopes and empty dreams
                        are starting to take their toll

                        I will always feel that searing pain that runs deep
                        when the shattering thunder meets the soft rain
                        But my heart will no longer be hoping to see
                        if you will ever return again

                        Please close the door gently on me
                        what it seemed to me was not what it was
                        A charred and burned ending is all that I am
                        another one lost but never loved

                        I won't leave anymore letters lying around
                        time to find a place warm and new
                        They will stay on this table never to be found
                        a reflection and memory...

                        of my true love for you
