Love Lost

I fought a battle
I fought the tears
I fought for life
I fought the fears

I found forgiveness
I found my heart
I found true love
I found a new start

I gave myself
I gave my life
I gave my love
worked past the strife

I planned for future
I planned for kids
I planned to have
what life forbids

He held my heart
He held my hand
He told me "together
forever we'd stand"

He took my love
I thought I had his
I believed we always
would live in bliss

I wanted to grow old
with him at my side
We always talked of
where we would reside

We'd have a house
We'd have a good marriage
We'd be there for each other
and each other we'd cherish

I fought for love
regardless of cost
I fought a battle
this battle I've lost
