Consequences of a Lie

I took a chance and lost,
I thought this was right,
But I find,
Things aren't this way by design,
Because what I found,
Was that this wasn't real.


Now I'm stuck trying to find my way,
My heart and head collide,
My world dies and I've lost sight,
I hope you can help,
Because the loneliness I feel draws near,
I've left the light on,
But I'm far past gone.

Now I'm alone again,
Running from my past,
Wishing I could have something,
Something I can't have,
I've fallen into darkness,
Reaching for the light.

You were the fire within me and now it's gone,
I've replaced my heart with stone,
And I've become numb,
To the four letter word L-O-V-E, love,
I've been betrayed.
