My Heart is Torn

It’s just ashes to ashes dust to dust
What has become of the two of us?

We used to love each other like a house on fire
A love that was filled with want and desire

Like a small boat in a storm we got lost at sea
It’s still hard to imagine that you don’t want me

Together we carved our names in the old oak tree
A showing of our love we placed for everyone to see

A golden ring I placed lovingly upon your finger
Tell me how long will these feelings linger

It seems one day our love simply died
No one can say that I didn’t try

We climbed a mountain just to get to the other side
The mighty waves of passion we did surely ride

Together we came to know the glory of love
A choir of heavenly angels sang from above

My mind can never forget the sad day
The day you said that you were going away

Our love has became like a dying rose
All the petals fell and it began to decompose

The ending to our love was so bittersweet
On some common ground I hope we can meet

My poor heart is now torn in two
Knowing that I can never replace you

My sad and broken heart is now in pain
Now that it is only ashes that remain

Such a thrill to see your N.Y.Stories show in London.
Such a showman who just owns a room.
Thanks for a magical night.

Oh, so good Micah! Very smooth...your voice just keeps getting better and better!
