Stolen

You promised to stay

Foolishly, I believed you

But just like my heart

My trust is gone too

The nights are so long

Drowning in tears

Alone in this silence

Just me and my fears

I still keep your pillow

Shaped by your head

Your ring resting on it

From the day that we wed

If you left for another

I'd still see your face

But instead, it was fatal

An incurable case

Now I raise our children

The best I can do

Tormented by smiles

That remind me of you
