I opened my arms
I opened my heart
I opened my soul
To embrace you
And I felt your arms
And I felt your heart
And I felt your soul
Embracing me…
In our eyes
In our smiles
In our touch
There was love
In our laughter
In our tears
In our silence
There was joy
Every part of me
Became a part of you
And every dream
And every longing too
Every heartbeat
Every song and rhyme
Every moment of love
I dedicated to you
But something happened -
In our very souls
Fears and lies
Whispers of infidelity
We saw more than we see
We heard more than we hear
We felt more than we feel
And there was none to undo
The charm dissipated
The passion vanished
The excitement died
Innocence was destroyed
Accusations grew
Schemes bloomed
Gossip flourished
And Love lay fatally poisoned
There were doubts
There were tears
There were bitter words
Our hurting hearts could not forgive
Then the darkness
Then the silence
Then the emptiness
And this pain inside of me
Alone in this cell
Alone in this prison
Alone in this dungeon
Every night I cry for you
But one day, someday
My heart will be free
My soul will be free
And love will return to me
