There was a man, a time I loved,<BR>I thought him a gift from God above.<P>My loyalty to him I gave,<BR>my body, to him, I did save.<P>Our eighteen years of love and trust<BR>are now abandoned in the dust.<P>The shame and failure he did feel, <BR>even to me, he did not reveal.<P>Like a deadly cancer it grew and grew<BR>A fool I was and never knew.<P>A wall it built between us two<BR>and now I know not what to do.<P>I long to tear the wall apart <BR>and free again his loving heart.<P>But through the wall he can not see,<BR>his love belongs to only me.<P>He says the wall is his to fight,<BR>for me to help would not be right.<P>Deep in sadness I live my life,<BR>no more, from now, to be his wife.
