Pretty Little Face

I remember that pretty little face

the way it made my soul smile

the way it filled me with pure joy

how it made my life worthwhile

I still see that pretty little face

in my dreams, thoughts, and prayers

haunted because I cannot touch

searing my life in nightmares

I can't forget that pretty little face

the eyes when I closed the door

opening a world of agony

unable to heal this open sore

I lost that pretty little face of yours

thought one day I could forgive

forgive myself for not holding tighter

now I don't know how I can live

I will never hold that pretty little face again

the delicate one I squandered

a lonely life I am in for

a life full of helpless wander
