There's something broken,
the tears won't shed     
and it's a token         
that inside I'm dead.    
                         
It's this life-          
over the years,          
with its strife,         
it's dried my tears.     
                         
Starved for love         
starved for affection    
I tried to run           
in all directions.       
                         
But wherever I'd go      
whereever I hid          
My loneliness won        
as it always did.        
                         
But I have faith         
that if I wait           
there will come a day    
when I will escape.      
                         
Into the arms of love    
and a bed of roses       
where all the thorns     
will be but 'membrances. 
                         
Of my life alone         
a life withhout love     
before I'd attained      
what I'd once dreamt of.
