In The Name Of Love
In the name of love
You twisted my words
And haunted my dreams,
With false intentions and lies,
You manipulated my being
And extinguished my shine.
In the name of love,
The sky was painted with hope,
It tried to be all that it was not,
Frail and doubtful,
This superficial arrangement,
Failed to see its own humanity,
It confused happiness,
And lived with regret,
Love could no longer be held,
In the arms of truth,
Nor by the gates of hell.
In the name of love,
My heart was abused,
Tainted by your demons,
Scattered in the deep corners
Of my aching thoughts,
Where only pain can settle,
And tears reign sunder.
In the name of love,
You destroyed my world,
And tarnished my soul with intention,
Without remorse, you took from me
All that I was and would become,
Now,
This shadow of a man is me,
Dressed in a suit of woe,
Walking beneath the crying moon,
Witnessing the death of stars.
In the name of love,
Nothing was left,
Somebody took away my life,
And stripped it from joy,
And for what?
A dream that never came true.
