Lucy Speaks

 Press play before reading. Salute.

(A lonely female voice whispers)

You may still need time to heal
And I’ve only just figured it out

Only God can put us
Together again

I finally know I need to kiss that old dream
Goodbye

I once gave you my heart soul and everything I once owned

I’ve walked through the night

Seen through it all

Past all the black and white lies

But if there was a second chance at loving you

I'd take it right away
Starting today

But Father Times played his cards

In seconds and minutes

These tears will still fall as I know

We’ve gone too far

For when I last looked into your beautiful green eyes

I could see there’s
No common ground

They're telling me it’s over

Yelling me to
Leave

Yeah 

I know how it goes that
We can never make it

Too many lies have been
Spoken

To many sacred
Oaths broken

But I don’t want to leave

Your love is all that I need

And now all alone in this ever-growing darkness

Am I just doomed to forever grieve?
