Twas Before Our Love

My heart is bleeding
I feel so empty and my face is smashed
Into a wounded smear
My youth was fleeting
I know life now
And seen in snatched away into a tear
And how the pit of my being
Was deceived into believing
Can’t forget what I’ve seen
For so long lost in a dream
God, I feel so sick
Don’t wanna share her kiss with the people I know of
She’s my only love
The harlotry she's quit
I must forget the shit that I know of
‘Twas before our love
But sometimes late at night I wonder
Why she once charged Men to be her lover
Forgetting the past, it's all asunder
Realize the past is but a dream
