A Slave of Love

I've died and resurrected 
countless times in the 
name of love
Painfully swallowed my 
pride so that I could have
Have all that  which I asked 
from above
Today am axed,Tomorrow 
I  ask;
Love!why do you do this to 
me?Is it your task?
Why hadn't i seen that all 
along you were in a mask?


You cowardly aroused the 
love in me
Yet the best of us was never 
to be
Better still for you,you are 
free
What happened?I thought 
we'd agree
Now you're gone,leaving 
me prone
Please don't ignore me,pick 
up the phone


Lately sleep and I are 
strangers
 My pillow soaks in the tears 
of this danger
Please i need a ranger,this 
love is stanger
My tears are soon losing 
taste,Yes!It's my food of late
I'd never imagined this as 
fate
To this date since you 
left,I'm only filled with hate


Let me be your love slave 
today
Let these tears drown me 
in my dismay
Hey,the day I cease being 
stupid of love is coming
And as I lay in my 
grave,don't shed a single 
tear
Don't even fear or put a 
meer smear of fragrance 
on my grave
Because from the world of 
the dead I'll hear every 
footstep you make towards 
me.
