Fallen Angel
the haunting stare You see every night That empty look in her eyes When you hold her tight
Her body so much like marble Smooth and cold to touch Her hands limp and unmoving Cheeks that never flush
Lips that never return your kiss Laughter you will never hear A smile you will never see And yet you hold her dear
You want so much to love her You want her to let you close You try so hard to make her see That for her there is hope
But she cannot feel anything You love she cannot take She lives an eternal nightmare From which she cannot escape
For her life holds no meaning Love is pale and shallow Your touch cannot warm her She is numbed and hollow
But though you know your love is vain You will hold her forever You will love your fallen angel you will be empty together
