Lament
by Jamie Marie from A Beggar's Rose

If I could turn back the hands of time
And have the love that once was mine
I’d hold it safe within my heart
And we’d never have been apart

This life of sorrow I’d not have known
No sad, long days spent alone
No lonely nights while tears did flow
I didn’t then, but now I know

I let true love slip through my hands
The hurt is deep. I cannot stand
To think of what my foolishness cost
And of the sweet love I have lost

Now in my dreams your face I see
I long for what now cannot be
There is no longer a place for us
Only for me in my loneliness
