• Epitaph of love
    By: Matthew Draft

    You broke the silence first
    in ways I could never dream of putting in a verse,
    and on long winter nights,
    in late night drives,
    I could feel your warmth,

    I was young I was naive
    only thing I knew of love came from my T.V.
    But you wouldn't share this feeling with me,
    No matter how wonderful it may have been,

    As I one last time,
    carve the Epitaph of love
    into stone I wonder if you thought,
    Maybe I needed you then more then ever,
    Did you really need to break me in the way that you did
    Did you really need to forsake me,
    leave me cold and lonely

    I don't know any more, I just don't know

    Minutes in your arms,
    were like eternity among the stars,
    But even eternity must end someday,
    and it could never have been enough time.
    you knew well that I was vulnerable.

    I often slept all day,
    waiting for the night to take me away,
    Just hearing your name still makes me numb,
    I loose my breath and become dumb.

    As I carve the epitaph of love,
    into stone one last time,
    I wonder if you ever thought,
    Maybe there was something there you didn't see.
    Well I guess it is okay if you did not see it too
    Well I guess it's better you don't know
    It is the perfect lie.

    I don't know any more, I just don't know

    Now that is in the past,
    I stood up after you knocked me down,
    I would not become jaded,
    but before I waisted one more word on you,
    let me tell you what I now know is true.

    Your a tool and a fool,
    and I enjoy hearing about how people use you,
    How I'm glad I never ended up in the mess that is you,
    I'm in bliss knowing you are suffering.

    Now as I one last time,
    sing my song of lost love,
    I wonder why you where worth all my time,
    What joy did you ever bring me?

    I will stand,
    not stumble.
    Over words you humbled,
    and not one more,
    will be wasted on you.
