I KEEP CONTROL OF MY HEART

​

 We walked together in the garden

Past the flowers as they die

It will soon become the autumn

When we struggle for the light

Is this the last conversation that we know we have to have?

The sun sinks to the horizon,

And I keep control of my heart

 

The river flows in the distance,

The swans have yet to play a role

You have never looked so beautiful,

But I’ll have to let you go

I try to open up with questions

On why the party was cut short

But your eyes are facing downwards

And I keep control of my heart

 

I gave to you my heart, my body and my soul

I loved you more than anyone could say

But it was all in vain and he took you from me

And I could only watch you walk away

 

I was shocked when you kissed him,

I thought we’d have all time

At that moment we were finished,

And you were no longer mine

My heart survives for the moment,

But my spirit was destroyed

Yet I refuse to stop loving you as I keep control of my heart

Yet I refuse to stop loving you as I have control of my heart
