Arthur Isaacson - After Love lyrics

I lay in silence on our bed As in fear I dare not tread On subjects intimate, unsaid Nor try to rouse a love long dead A prison cell composed of flesh Nearby back I can't caress A night too long in deep distress Does not, my soul with sleep impress A scream within my head does roar Throw wide the gates I do implore Bring back the world I knew before You k**ed the love, was once my core I cannot bear the closeness now That once was valued, sought somehow Became a nightmare, rejected vow And leaves, but tears, upon my brow Whether free or kept in chains From you there's naught but cold and pains From bonds that warmed, all that remains Is emptiness,…my cup is drained
