Sweet broken whisper, 

hidden betrayal of your bitter words…

Spiteful curse from a sad lullaby…

 

A voice that at the end of love…

Speaks of a struggle…

Of a quarrel between mind and heart…

 

You say you once loved

but your treasonous sound

has forsaken your hatred…

 

Drowned rancour fills the pain 

of an abandoned child 

longing to be complete again…

 

If only you could travel back…

To a time before your honey turned salt…

Before your castle of tears was built upon…  

 

Sweet broken whisper, 

hidden betrayal of your bitter words…

Spiteful curse from a sad lullaby…

True voice of an unending Love…
