Faith's Broken Promises

She wanted to be touched
Like a star hanging dry
A sky without a meaning
A tear without a cry

And her hands tremble terribly
At the thought of her review
Of a man who sat so coldly
Wanting a different hue

A girl without any color
A sun in a shade of gray
A pale skinned goddess of love
With nothing important to say

Yet as she gleamed and danced
With her silken tresses of light
He was further from her reach
And barely in her sight

He wanted more then just a dancer
A lover, more like a toy
She thought she'd found her man
But instead she bought a boy

Fragile and weak her body
And lips broken and torn
Like the dress that wanted wear
She was the rose without a thorn

And on her knees she weep
And in her blood she swore
That this was the final time
She lay broken on the floor

Love she cursed, and forgot the world
Its existence mattered naught
She lived too long in a golden castle
And golden dreams she sought

The times for Roman soldiers
Battles fought and won
Or Princes with their armor
She knew there wasn't one

Shielded with the passion
Of hate, and her demise
There was nothing left to live for
If she lived in a disguise

With no one to really see her
Or listen to her crying
Living alone 'til the end
With an empty soul that's dying

When she leaves this world
There's one thing to remain
That there's nothing more regretful
Then loving when in vain

She was not the sun set
Or even the waking dawn
She always found the bed stand money
When her lover's were through and gone

Her clothes piled in a corner
Awaiting their next turn
For another man's heart to break
Another bridge to burn

Those endless cries of bleeding
And cursing all the world
There wasn't much more to it
She was just a simple girl

Who wanted nothing more than
A man to see her truly
And kindle her faith in love
Without the force of cruelty

And with her gained reliance
Of faith of the heart
To see the world more clearly
When she finds a brand new start

That love is more a destiny
Than a way to make a dirty living
Love is as simple as trust,
Faith, passion, caring, and giving
