Lie in the dark and...

"Lie in the dark,
And listen to the rain.
Lie in my arms,
And feel my pain.

I walked for miles,
For a glimpse of you.
I travelled in dark,
To get a feel of you.

The heartening thunder,
And the lightening that hit the ground.
Was it a blunder?
Or a bullet sound.

The letter you sent,
Which left me drenched?
Ripping an arrow through my heart,
And tearing it apart.

Was it my fault?
That I fell in love.
Or was it a bird,
Which flew away like a dove.

In my last letter,
I set you free.
But I just want to know,
As to why you betrayed me.

I felt I should have died that night,
When the stars in the sky were not so bright.
I shall now live my life,
With only one question left …why?"
