I hold your last letter in my hand
You promised to love me forever and a day
while making love to me with only words
How I smiled that whole day
thinking of things coming my way
and remembering the words on which I fed.
Who knew words alone could kill a lonely heart
Or make that heart so happy it nearly burst
but with the happiness also came hurt
Words have meanings, that stand tall and true
And what you say, you should do
You never bothered to say goodbye
So I'll say it for you in our way.
Fair-thee-well my only love
You will never be forgotten
the words are burnt into my brain
Passion promised, but never brought
I'll think of you, when we bury my heart.
