Prologue:
Will I ever learn to love again?
Can my heart bear another pain?
�Touch me not,� I say
�Touch me not� as my words fade away.
Part 1:
*
I woke up with a pain thrust in my heart
A wound that had scarred me ever since you said goodbye
If I knew this would happen, I never would�ve dared to start
Is this your love or is this your lullaby?
*
My mind was in total serene as I wander all day long
Hearing nothing, omit the peaceful melody of a song
I condemned myself as I ache with nostalgia at the relationship we built
Buried in my own na�ve thoughts filled with anguish and guilt
*
If you were just another man not worth fighting,
Then why does my heart keeps on aching?
Maybe it�s because of a tale that happened to me once upon a dream
A dream where I got my heart broken but still risked loving him.
*
Part 2:
*
In an empire not far away,
Prevail a lovely maiden of whom have gone astray
As loneliness surrounds the kingdom�s abyss,
The maiden�s smile still yet to exist
*
As the maiden endure forlorn yearning,
Somehow she knew her prince was coming.
Along the way, giving up was not a choice
He was just out there, listening to her voice.
*
Her heart was incarnated with symphonic melody.
A melody which cannot hide the maiden�s agony
And the mysterious traveler hastens towards the maiden�s town
Unto his crusade, he was a gentleman from sole to crown
*
As hours turned into days and then to weeks,
Doubt has the cloak the maiden unto what her heart truly seeks.
�Jove!�, she cried out �how my heart is filled with sorrow.�
And just then, a simple touch made the confused Juliet to stumble upon her Romeo.
*
Their eyes met as a glimmer of fate sparks around
And ever since that day, the maiden�s smile has been found
There was something eccentric about the way he gazed into her eyes
His, was full of trust but behind those were pure inflamed lies
*
The maiden was blinded by her love for the prince
And when she found out the truth, she�s been hurting ever since
Love may have opened her eyes to hope and possibilities
But pain has locked her heart away and sealed it with a kiss.
*
The maiden will not be such a coward as to cede his game
She ended it once and for all but there�s no one left to blame
He broke her heart and left the pieces shatter,
Ending the fairytale of my long deep slumber.
Part 3:
*
The tears have gentled though yet it fell
For my heart is a prisoner of my own desires that even my lips cannot tell
Crying eyes and hidden lies, it�s just too much
But there are times when I long for your sweet and tender touch
*
That dreams still haunts me in an insidious way deep inside
For I knew it was my story all along of which I was trying to hide
But I can no longer pretend because of the hurt that I possess
The aching memory of your love and gentle caress
*
Why! Oh why does my heart cry?
For you loved me with your words and comforted me with a lie
Another failed romance, but my first heartache
Another ending, it�s more than I can take
*
Leave me now, leave me be
Depart loneliness and end thy agony
Heal me now and set me free
For these dreams are memories I do not want to see
*
Epilogue:
Will I ever learn to love again?
Can my heart bear another pain?
�Touch me not� I said
Better yet, leave me;
Leave me and my heart for dead.
