Don't Ask

Love's ecstasy flew on gilded wings To a heart laden with woe, Like flower buds, my dreams opened, Then cruel Fate struck its deadly blow; Now I walk a lonely path again, But I'll forget him..... just don't ask when My anguished heart was stripped of its dreams, Deprived of its guiding star; How long does a heart take to heal? Will a wound this deep leave a scar; Though my world is crumbling 'round me now, I must carry on..... just don't ask how Fate has spoken, but life must go on, Alone, I bitterly weep; I've climbed the Hill of Tears before, But never has it been this steep! Each day, dark clouds are filling my sky, And yet, I still hope..... just don't ask why But should abandoned hearts dare to hope Lost love will return again? Late last night while I prayed aloud Crying angels sighed their Amen; You may see me smile, (that's just a mask) , Do I still miss him? O, please, don't ask!
