Just Another Love Song

By C. Tinsley

Love, your name was a song to me

My heart died to hear
I listened to every face I met
And still behind all the smiles
Your shadow remained

Love, your name was a song to me

Though you were gone
And I was here all alone
Dying for your touch
If only I’d heard those words spoken to me

Love, your name was a song to me

A song I’d never hear
No music to my ears
I didn’t ever see
A sunrise pouring over the horizon
Light filling my eyes.
All I wanted was someone to love me
Someone to trust and care and laugh with.

Love, your name was a song to me

A song that never filled my mouth
You left me with a hunger I could not fill
No matter what I consumed
This desire left a hole within me
I longed for you and yet you were always away
I tried to hold you to me and you just flew away.
