     Each night before he goes to sleep,


     She appears inside his room.


     She whispers words into his pillow


     So he'll hear them in his dreams.


 


     Each day before he rises,


     She makes his cup of tea


     From the tears she cries when she's alone


     So he'll taste the way she feels.


 


     Each time he drives those country roads,


     She paints the sky above


     With the colors of her heart and soul


     So he'll see the depth of love.


 


     But one day he'll lay his head to sleep


     And his nights will be too silent.


     He'll wake up then in the early dawn


     But his tea will taste too bitter.


 


     He'll drive that path and see no sun


     For the skies are misty gray now.


     Because every day he went along,


     With not a thought of her at all.


 


     She felt herself fade from his mind


     Her efforts all in vain.


     So she packed her words inside a box


     And covered it with the tears.


     The paint she used to touch the clouds


     Set the box ablaze.


 


     No longer will he have to say


     'I love you' when he doesn't.


     And no longer will she have to give


     To the one who shouldn’t have her.

  Sometimes when I write its from experience, sometimes its from what I hear about and sometimes its a little of both. This is a little of both. :P
