Mourning of a Fragile Heart: Collaboration

Cold rain is my companion on this night that's gone askew
I walk the street alone, my heart in splinters and shattered
Rain mingles with tears; my world blurred in shades of blue
Love is a paradox of emotions, tossed about and scattered

I walk the street alone, my heart in splinters and shattered
Shadows lengthened in the lambency of burning lamp light
Love is a paradox of emotions, tossed about and scattered
Melancholy memories haunt me in cloudy visions tonight

Shadows lengthened in the lambency of burning lamp light  
You say it's over and now I’m left with a fragmented heart 
Melancholy memories haunt me in cloudy visions tonight 
My pain is raw. I can't comprehend why you would depart 

You say it's over and now I’m left with a fragmented heart 
Rain mingles with tears; my world blurred in shades of blue 
My pain is raw. I can't comprehend why you would depart 
Cold rain is my companion on this night that's gone askew 


Thank you to my collaborator. Something old is new again.
