[hometext] => I couldn’t stop you from hurting and as pain creates pain and suffering creates suffering It becomes clear that we live in a world where everything has a price and even teardrops aren’t free
[bodytext] => ----------___________---------- I remember how it began with tempers flaring and heartache nearing We were saying words never meant to be said and now we’re hurting one another just because we were too weak to face ourselves We cry because we love We cry because we care But we forget that in this world everything has a price and that even teardrops aren’t free I held your head in my arms and I tried to caress the pain away But no matter how much I wiped your eyes or took back the words I said I couldn’t stop you from hurting and as pain creates pain and suffering creates suffering It becomes clear that we live in a world where everything has a price and even teardrops aren’t free As I’m driving off into the distance I can see you standing there waving with the tears still fresh on your face I try to remember every word we said and I try to understand the price I’m paying as I speed into the darkness of uncertainty leaving pieces of myself behind pieces that are mere tokens demanded by a world where everything has a price and even teardrops aren’t free Now we’re miles apart my love and I haven’t seen your face in years but your pale blue eyes still haunt me every night as I drift off to sleep I hear you’ve moved on with your life and that you’ve found another lover one that only makes you smile But I’m still crying my love I’m still caressing the pain and I’m still paying the toll claimed by this world where everything has a price and even teardrops aren’t free [comments] => 2 [counter] => 261 [topic] => 22 [informant] => MajesticPoet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )
