Lovers

There was once a maiden, whose lover was lost at sea
their love was so strong that she could not be
to feel his touch, to hear his voice
she really thought she had no choice
a journey she set out upon
although she knew he was gone
so to a cliff she started to walk,
where they used to sit and talk
it was there overlooking the sea
where she knew her lover must be
she sat there and cried,cried cried
time passed her and went slowly by
she just sat there and she cried
she cried for her lover, for his touch
for his voice she missed so much
she cried for the good times that they had
she cried for the memories that made her sad
she cried so hard and so much
the she herself had lost touch
she no longer knew her own name
she no longer cared just the same
she cried for days and for nights
no one but the sea heard her plight
so she stood up and took a leap
and soon she was in the deep
her lover was there by her side
and she realized that life was worthwhile
but no longer could she feel or touch
or kiss the man she loved so much
instead they laughed and ran and play
in the sea where they lay
today i heard them singing their song
i hummed along all day long.
i felt their happiness and their pain
and i knew in my heart i was to suffer the same
but will i sit there and cry myself utterly away
or will i live to see another day.
