[bodytext] => I loved once before But it was many years ago And today on my wedding Your face you show You’re the only face I can see As my beautiful bride marches down Down to the altar of love And old memories come back around I thought I had forgotten you After many years, my love you denied No matter how hard I tried to leave you behind Each time you were forgotten, my memory lied Oh, I loved before we ever met And I loved after you were gone But those feelings of love weren’t true My feelings for you was the only love I’ve ever known The woman I’m marrying is so pretty and nice The only woman to ever truly love me Yet I’ve already failed her For you’re the only face I can see When I pull back her veil and kiss those lips And look longingly into her deep blue eyes It will only be you I’m thinking of Making our wedding nothing but a bunch of lies Why did you have to come today And take up residence on one of our pews Shattering the façade of stability I thought I had If only I knew, if only I knew Just as when I was younger I’m spellbound by your charm My whole being is absorbed, entranced with you and you alone My future rushes towards the way of harm If I can just make it through the service Leave this church quickly behind As soon as you are out of sight You will be out of mind But I know that’s not true No matter how many times I bury your memory, no matter how deep My mind plays tricks on me And your memory he keeps And tonight, a night which should only be for me and my wife Will be shared with an uninvited guest Each time I look at her, you’ll be there Even though to forget you, I’m trying my best I was so foolish to think That I could ever love again For no other woman ever stood a chance To love another, against my heart it would sin But my wife will never know Never know how I struggle each day To dig a grave for your memory And hope that in its grave it stays [comments] => 3 [counter] => 175 [topic] => 61 [informant] => weepingwillow [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )
