In My Arms

Could this feeling have been true?

True love

Could I have wanted to spend my life with you?

Could I have wanted to hold you in my arms and never let you go?

If that feeling had been true love

why did it all the sudden stop?

If I had wanted to spend my life with you

why did the door shut behind you?

If I had wanted to hold you without letting go

how did you slip from my fingers so?

Why did you give me your love knowing I would throw it away?

Why did you come into my abode knowing it would never be your home?

Why did you run into my arms knowing I would let you fall?

I will throw my love and life away

make sure I have no home

I will pull myself out of the arms of safety

have a burden of guilt upon my back

die with it upon my shoulders

in my coffin of cold black stone.
