You Gave Me Away
By: Kevin Max Smith
Alas, my love you wave me away
In your tender smile
With eyes not following
You gave me away
This night, I weep tears of salt and blood.
Alas, my love you wave me away
Oh, so much time we
Have given to accommodate
This doomed romance
Did you not know
To pray before the dawn?
Alas my love
You wave me away,
And I accept this
Because of reality
That welcomes me back
You gave me away
Because there was no longer
Need for my words
Of defamed wisdom
Here I sit upon a
A wooden Crucifix made for me
Alas, my love
You wave me away
My love was not enough
While still my fate is stalking
In justice is my cup
I have spent my days
With outstretched hands
To Fashion Wooden Soul, but
Alas, my love
You gave me away
And why?
God only knows
