Lover's Requiem

She sang a lover's requiem,
A sweet serenade of pain,
A ballad of the bad times,
Of things she wishes she could've changed.

She sang a lover's requiem,
A last sorry to her heart,
For letting it be broken,
For tearing it apart.

She sang a lover's requiem,
She hoped that he could hear,
The pain he cast upon her,
Her hopes that he was near.

She sang a lover's requiem,
Each note louder than the next,
Not stopping for a breathe,
As if that she were hexed.

She sang a lover's requiem,
She did not wish to stop,
But if she did continue,
Her fragile heart could pop.

She sang a lover's requiem,
Even knowing this was true,
Repeating one last stanza,
'All this, I sing for you.'
