A Melody of Tears
2024©JohnSchofield

A song of love left unsung
With a melody of tears
A symphony of longing
Playing softly through the years

A tale of love left untold
A page waiting for the pen
The narrative unprinted
Waiting sadly for the end

When I watched you walking by last night
Holding hands in the soft moonlight
A dagger to my aching heart
All my hopes just ripped apart

Through the storm of my life, this pouring rain
I carry this hurt, this unending pain
I can hardly bear to hear your name
The memory of a dying flame

When I saw you with your chosen one
When I knew all hope for me had gone
The weight of what you meant to me
The weight of what was meant to be
Took all my strength to bear

A song of love left unsung
With a melody of tears
A symphony of longing
Playing softly through the years

When I saw you with your chosen one
When I knew all hope for me had gone
The weight of what you meant to me
The weight of what was meant to be
Took all my strength to bear
